- GoofsAt the Belter crime scene, it is mentioned that the ballistics expert had determined the gun had been fired twice. At that point it would have been impossible for him to determine that at the crime scene alone. The gun in question was referred to by Spudsy, Mason, and on the pawn sale as a .32 Colt automatic.

Featured review
Good Film
Case of the Velvet Claws, The (1936)
** 1/2 (out of 4)
Fourth film in Warner's Perry Mason series once again features Warren William as the lawyer. This time out Perry is about to go on his honeymoon when a woman kidnaps him at gunpoint and asks for him to blackmail a newspaper so that her name won't be brought up in a love affair which will ruin a big politician. The bribe doesn't work but soon the woman's husband ends up dead and Mason is the suspect. This is a pretty good film that's nothing special but it makes for a quick 63-minutes worth of entertainment. The best thing the film has going for it is the performance of William who also picks up after the previous film. He's full of charm and anger this time out and those are two things William can do with ease. Sadly Allen Jenkins isn't in this one. He's replaced with a new assistant played by Eddie Acuff and he's comedy just doesn't work. The case itself is pretty good as is the ending.
