A a group of guests in a mystery writer’s mansion are being terrorized by The Bat, a criminal who has hidden $20,000 dollars (A lot more back then) somewhere in the mansion. A detective searches for the Bat and the hidden money. I read on the Archive.org page for this that this movie was what […]
The Phantom Fiend - 1932
This is the first talky remake of a book and later Alfred Hitchcock movie called “The Lodger”, inspired by Jack the Ripper. It seems people prefer Hitchcock’s silent version, this remake was made while talking in movies was still in a refining phase, and the characters change a bit in odd ways because of that.
Death Kiss - 1932
While filming the last scene of the movie “The Death Kiss” the leading male role Myles Brent actually gets murdered, and since he’s been around with most of the women on the film, there are too many suspects to sort through. That’s the plot of the movie, not trivia about the filming of this movie. Has […]
The Ghost Camera - 1933

Kennel Murder Case - 1933
Archer Coe, a hated collector of artifacts and antiques, is found dead in his bedroom.

Get That Man - 1935
A taxi driver’s life get’s turned upside down when he is found to look like a murdered heir to a fortune. This is a good mistaken identity flick that moves along at a fast pace.
Rogue’s Tavern - 1936
Another enjoyable “Whodunnit Murder in a Spooky House” plot done well with some over acting and low budget charm.
Great Guy - 1936
James Cagney stars in this great movie with an utterly useless title about the department of Weights & Measures always looking out for the regular Joe Shmoes. More specifically they are after the crooked alderman Marty who is in the midst of an insidious plot to cheat consumers out of their product by shorting them […]
