Reviewer:picfixer - - February 5, 2010 Subject: Pucker up, baby! A philandering actor is murdered on a movie set. There are many with motives, but the dumb cops pick his ex-wife as the chief suspect. Enter a handsome script writer to save the day. This is a good little who-done-it with plenty of humor supplied by a not-so-dumb studio cop and the studio head who is a parody of Sam Goldwyn. If you think about it, the modus operandi is really farfetched. So don't think about it. Why ruin the fun? Bela Lugosi and Edward "Van Helsing" Van Slone have supporting roles as studio executives. Fast paced and well produced with a good cast. An enjoyable hour and ten minutes, especially for classic mystery fans. FOOTNOTE: As Hollywood's Yogi Berra, independent producer Sam Goldwyn's infamous mangling of the English language resulted in timeless quotes like, "A verbal contract isn't worth the paper it's written on," "If I could drop dead right now, I'd be the happiest man alive" and "Include me out." Google his name for dozens more.
Reviewer:billbarstad - - January 11, 2010 Subject: A Good One This is a pretty good who-done-it set mostly in a movie studio. A screenwriter acts as a detective, and the film follows him as he solves two related murders, The police are antagonistic to the screenwriter's efforts as he discovers clues and shoots down their ideas, though not totally incompetent as in other movies of the period. I would have enjoyed it more, but for all the missing frames, which affected the dialog more than the picture. The actors did a good job and were fun to watch.
I downloaded the 691MB MPEG4. Compression artifacts are visible throughout, but not obtrusively so.
