      Steve D The resolution isn't as good as the story. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/22/24 Full Review Audience Member The best movie character ever portrayed: William Powell as Philo Vance! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review bill t Not even Powell can save this early (and incredibly done-on-the-cheap!) talking mystery. I love Powell, but this story was pretty boring, and quite predictable whodunnit. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Solid little mystery is a early talkie that is somewhat stilted. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Early performances by Jean Arthur & Louise Brooks might be of interest to film buffs; everybody else will find this slow-going.
