(1932, World Wide, Upgraded 12/12/21) David Manners, Bela Lugosi, Edward Van Sloan, Adrienne Ames, Vince Barnett, John Wray, Alexander Carr. A big time movie star is shot dead (the gun was supposed to have blanks) right in front of the cameras after receiving an on screen kiss. Van Sloan is the director who continues to give directions to the corpse, thinking all along his actor is simply lying down on the job! Manners is the studio writer who attempts to one-up the police and track down the killer before they do. Bela is one of his prime suspects in what is a suprisingly well done mystery thriller-chiller. Featured in the original Forgotten Horrors book. From a crisp 35mm print.
