ashley h Phantom Killer is a decent film. It is about an attorney is determined to prove that the community's most respected member is a cold-blooded killer. Dick Purcell and Joan Woodbury give good performances. The screenplay is a little slow in places. William Beaudine did an alright job directing this movie. I liked this motion picture because of the mystery and drama. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member PHANTOM KILLER is from 1942 and it's directed by the legendary William "One Shot" Beaudine. A remake of Monogram's THE SPHINX (1933) with Lionel Atwill, the film is about wealthy philanthropist John G. Harrison (John Hamilton, best known as Perry White on the 50s "Superman" TV show) , who is believed to be deaf mute, being charged with a series of killings. A young prosecutor (Dick Purcell) believes Harrison is not only the murderer, but that he can hear and speak. His girlfriend is a newspaper woman who also believes in Harrison's innocence, that is until a lieutenant on the case is found dead on the very morning he was to divulge some evidence. Probably the most fun of the three films, it has a piano that unlocks a secret door, a trick ending, and a great cameo by Mantan Moreland as a witness who has the courtroom in hysterics with his replies. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Read all reviews
