Cary Grant portrayed Dr. Noah Praetorius in People Will Talk.

Trivia Question: Grant wasn't the first actor to portray a "Dr. Praetorius" in a movie. Who was the first and what was the movie?

Hint: The actor who played Cuthbert Greenway usually worked with another actor who almost always played his partner. However, although both
actors were in this movie, they did not play partners.
