(1929) Jameson Thomas, Jean Colin, Henry Victor, Jack Raine. This Forgotten Horrors style thriller is about the son of a murdered count who goes on a party cruise. Someone tries to kill him, but the prime suspect has an alibi. What’s the secret of the strange weapon that fired the near-fatal bullet? Creaky, but fun. This film shows the problems of early sound. We noticed our 16mm print had some mild distortion the last few minutes, though still largely understandable. We thought the print might be defective. But a Brit reviewer from 1930 mentioned these same problems, which means the film was actually released that way! 16mm. DVD item #M512D, VHS item #M512
