(1930) Dorothy Boyd, Nigel Bruce, Audrey Carten, David Hawthorne, Frank Lawton. This early British talkie, while a bit stiff, features a great cast, with Smith turning in an especially fine performance. A murder occurs mid-way into the film, but it’s a mystery to the folks on screen only as the viewer sees everything that happens. The solving of the mystery is intriguing and the big climactic scene between the murder victim’s niece and one of the murderers is very memorable and most intense. Lawton went on to have a nice part as “Ronnie” in The Invisible Ray. From 35mm.
