Good Fun
16 October 2013
A group of strangers are brought together in an old, dark house and must contend with two murders and $50,000 in stolen money.

These dark, moody, creepy mysterious movies apparently were the rage back in the early 40s. There are tons of them. Even Abbott & Costello made a couple!

This one is no exception. Lots of shadowy things going on. These types of films may have originated from some English live theatre that are still popular to this day in London. Unsure. Even WC Fields has a line in a movie where he turns a picture into a "drawing room drama!" It's a very watchable movie.

The down side is that available prints are not so pristine. You can actually see the celluloid warping while you watch!
