The Marionette Mystery (1950 TV Short)
Curiosity
30 July 2014
The short films of the movies' greatest designer, William Cameron Menzies are miserably under documented. Yes, he wanted to direct and his two reelers made for Post Productions gave him a chance.

This is probably the least of them. His TERRIBLY STRANGE BED would have to be at the top of that list.

The current film is a murder mystery with a silhouette presentation as the climax and only element of interest.

A cast of half familiar players go through their paces in a slackly filmed and slow paced production.

That's enough comment.
