What a Twist
Wall Street Mystery, The (1931)
** 1/2 (out of 4)
Third film in the S.S. Van Dine series has a couple men murdered inside an office on Wall Street. Insp. Carr (John Hamilton) believes he has the case solved but Dr. Crabtree (Donald Meek) has a theory that might lead to a major twist. This is another pretty good entry in the series but I must admit that the way the mystery plays out is somewhat weak. The twist in the movie is downright great and you won't see it coming but at the same time you can't help but role you eyes and feel you've been cheated in some ways. The ending didn't make me mad and I did get a smile out of it but it pretty much comes out of no where. Hamilton plays his character a lot tougher than some of the future shorts that I've seen from the series. We also get a touch of humor thrown in with a joke about Sherlock Holmes as well as a black elevator man calling himself "Amos Andy", after the radio show of course.
