(1933, Warners, Upgraded 11/11/21) William Powell, Mary Astor, Eugene Pallette, Ralph Morgan, Robert McWade, Robert Barrat, Paul Cavanough. There's no doubt that William Powell was one of the best screen detectives in the history of film, and here's a fine example. Powell is Philo Vance trying to solve a murder centered around seven suspects and a dead sportsman. Terrific stuff with a really good climax. Morgan does a great job in a strong supporting role and it's always great to see Mary Astor. From a sparkling 16mm original print.
