    THE CRIME OF DR. CRESPI features Stroheim as a brilliant surgeon who nurses a secret grudge against the colleague who stole away the woman he loved. A critical illness lands the rival on Stroheim's operating table, setting the stage for a hideous revenge. Stroheim's committed performance is the film's main attraction, with a striking use of extreme close-ups to convey his startling mood swings from soft-spoken civility to snarling contempt.
