"Murder On A Honeymoon" is the last of the three film appearances of Edna May Oliver as schoolteacher and amateur sleuth Hildegarde Withers, and is in my opinion the best of the three films, mainly for the following reasons:
a) Slightly improved production values, with the Catalina island providing a nice change of scenery
b) A more intricate plot, with several surprising plot developments (not just limited to "who-done-it")
c) Two terrific supporting performances, by Dorothy Libaire (who, if IMDb is correct, is still with us at the astonishing age of 107!) and Lola Lane (whose character forms a rare bond of friendship with Miss Withers - usually, Inspector Oscar Piper is Miss Withers' only "buddy").
And of course, Edna May Oliver and James Gleason put on their usual good show.
I give this one **1/2 out of 4.
