  2. The Mind Reader Reviews. The star performance by Williams and the mordant comical lines throughout, raise the film's value to watchable programmer fare. Full Review | Original Score: B- |...

  3. A trio of con artists (Warren William, Allen Jenkins and Clarence Muse) travels from city to city in middle America swindling suckers with a bogus mind reading act featuring William as "Chandra the Great," complete with turban and crystal ball.

  4. K. Cameron. ★★★ Watched by JIsoliman 12 Aug 2023. Warren Williams is truly excellent as a charming and wiley, but redeemable, carnival con-man. Allen Jenkins and Clarence Muse are great sidekicks and bring the comic relief.
