Old films are generally better than anything made today - the wardrobe, writing, set design, hair, even just the peek into a world where virtually everything was superior in both style and quality. The Kennel Murder Case checks all those boxes and much more. This could have easily been written by Agatha Christie. It's a fun ride that sucks you in. The cast of characters is fun and the story keeps you guessing. As far as murder mysteries go, this is right up there with the greats. William Powell is excellent, of course, with shades of his Thin Man character. Directed by Michael Curtiz of Casablanca fame, it's filmed beautifully with lush sets and all of the things you simply can't find in simple movies anymore. It's a fun ride in a world long gone and well worth checking out.
