      Steve D A step in the wrong direction but still entertaining. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/03/24 Full Review Daryl S Not a bad mystery. Not terribly hard to figure who did it at the end. Some decent misdirection. Also not that long of a watch. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/11/23 Full Review Audience Member the aweful warren williams takes over for william powell and the series suffers Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member not bad murder mystery early B movie fare it zips along at just 78 minutes. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Solid little ?B? mystery, the film moves along at a very brisk pace, good performances from everyone, but it?s Eugene Pallette that stands out. It?s light, simple and very entertaining. Good mystery, and it?s along the line of Charlie Chan movies. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
