I didn't cae for the solution to this mystery, nor the ending. An interesting cast, including Paul Cavanaugh, Heather Angel, Lumsden Hare and Turhan Bey all do a decent job, but there isn't much meat for them to sink their teeth into.
Even the dullest movie has an interesting story somewhere in its history, and here's this one's: the play this movie is based on, MURDER ON THE SECOND FLOOR, ran for 45 days at the Eltinge on Broadway in 1929. It was Olivier's American debut.
