I will transport myself to 1932, and then if I look at, it isn't that bad as some of use have said here. It definitely has more merit than the 5.4 score that is given now.
The mystery is built up quite well, of who-dunnit and being precode, the story could openly say about the pre as well as post marital relation - the fact of life which naturally the codes won't let be brough out. And in those circumstances, the high society blackmailer (Miriam King) is killed - and probable murderer could be any of the three current (should have been more) males she had been sponging on, her own black mailer, or even any of the current girlfriends/ wives of her victims who knew of her existence with their lovers/ husbands.
The method of the murder was very ingenuous and probably unless the murderer hasn't committed virtual suicide, to save some one dear, the case would have remain unsolved.
It is a neat mystery, fast paced, and not too much to find-fault about, even if it wasn't a 'B' movie.
