Featured review
was there a body or wasn't there?
Robert Armstrong is Richard Bruce, tooting around London on vacation. when he gets lost in the thick fog, he goes into a house for directions, and finds a dead body. or did he? when he gets help and returns, the body is gone, and everyone denies that anything is amiss. some heavyweight co-stars... Roland Young (the thief! and Topper.) and Ralph Bellamy, Henry Stephenson (played everyone's grandfather, uncle, or wise lawyer). The beginning and the end move right along. Bruce is way out of his element, after complaining about how boring London is. Who can he get to help him? story by Ruth Rose, who also worked on the King Kong films. and.. she was married to the director Ernie Schoedsack! pretty good. mostly good sound and picture quality, although its a little rough in some parts. of course, its coming up on 100 years old!
