Look at those people talking, moving, hair done etc For a moment you forget that ALL of them are now bones buried 6 feet under. We will all be in their place some time. This world is not worth fighting or arguing over.
What a fun movie!!! The producer and his assistant are hilarious. The actors are good and the director did a great job. Love the storm track. The end was very satisfying :) ⚡️⛈️
How many murder-mystery stereotypes can you spot? I claim: - a big, old, isolated country house after dark in a storm, - an upper/upper-middle-class ensemble in formal attire, - a novelist/screenwriter/playwright in the assemblage, - the enactment of a drama (by said playwright) that goes awry. - a disappearing corpse, - the sudden appearance of an uninvited official, - the announcement of an escaped homicidal manic on the prowl, - a cut phone line - secret passages, - pictures with eyes that follow you, - and a mad scientist.
That was a delightful movie! It really kept me guessing, and the ending was such a surprise! The British really knew and know how to make a good movie! Thank you so much for posting!
Wikipedia: "Detective Weekly was a weekly British story paper that ran for 379 issues, from February 25, 1933 to May 25, 1940." Yet the 1933 film was made in the United States. 9:00
I enjoy these old movies. It tickles me how they trample all over the crime scene and all the persons allowed in😊😊😊 no gloves, and all the men in suits..
