3/10
Creaky thriller
28 July 2014
Low budget "poverty row" murder mystery movie from mid-1930's Hollywood. Suffers from poor production values for the most part - only one set in an apartment looks as if it had any money & time spent on it, a primitive storyline & a crude depiction of the villain at work with the risible nickname of "The Fiend", the opening scene is surprisingly poor & on the level of an amateur theatrical production. Worth watching for the acting by a stylishly dressed cast which is pretty good - apart from the female lead, who is a non-event, the dialogue between the characters which is snappy & competently written, & an excitingly filmed fight midway thru.
