I enjoy these precode gems. Whether good or bad! I just love these classic mystery films with a haunted,spooky mansion with secret passages ~ a mad professor ~ classic who-done-it. Perfect for those stormy October night movie marathons ....
I really liked this movie! It was a great combo of spooky mystery and comedy. Loved how some of the actors said their lines!! Thanks so much for uploading this gem 🙂👍
Decent film considering its from a minor studio with minor actors and probably no budget. Studios would turn these out one after another in assembly line fashion.
We just couldn't make good movies as consistently as the Brits. Their mysteries are almost always well scripted and very well acted. I gave up on this one after 5 minutes.....embarrassing.
@@stonesforlife4267 The Brit can make good mysteries and they are very capible of making some real turkeys stayed more than 5 min.s but I was not please about it.
Basically, a lot of running around and fighting in a dark house, held together by the barest wisp of a plot, something about a guy trying to steal the secret of a solar energy machine. And there's a cowardly idiot for comic relief. Why do people find characters like this funny? Is it because they make them feel better about themselves by comparison? Oh well, at least there isn't a racist stereotype black character.
@@donmateo3728 I was being sarcastic. Of course, in the 1930s "liberal" Hollywood had to portray blacks as dimwitted, superstitious cowards--basically overgrown children--in order to reinforce white America's belief its own superiority.
This film was awful starting with the horrible acting of the housekeeper, the drunk husband, and the two women. The storyline was ridiculous and the annoying screaming extremely bothersome.

It always amazed me how they were able to complete a whole story in under an hour in these old movies.
Just started watching these Pre Code movies. To bad movies today can't be this simple and Great! Thanks
TOO
Despite suffering the drunken buffoon, it was a fun flick. Worth every minute to get another glimpse of Josephine Dunn. What a cutie! Thanks

Prohibition was still in effect.

Villian was Lan Chaney-ish, for 1932, great little film...so early in the Talkies era! Thanks for the cute little whodunit.

"Free Power!!!..setting Millions of wage slaves Free..."
12:05 on..
they put it in the movies so the ordinary human will never take it serious. truth in the movies & lies in the news.
“Free power!! Throwing millions of wage slaves (who worked in the power industry) out of work!”

There is too much SCREAMING for this movie to be any good at all!!!
I love pizza flix
32:22,39:58I wonder if that was the precursor to Hollywood's portrayal of a Ñ@z1 saying "Vee haff vays of making you talk."🧐
I'd stay drunk to,,along with other things,,,

Umm.. Hello? The guy who gave them a ride to the house? 🦤
@@scarygary-qq1pj That's known as sarcasm.
Not bad. But drunk comic relief is obnoxious.
👍
All this movie needed was the 3 stooges! Dumb dumber and dumbest!! Electricity but everyone was using candles! That was one long match!
Corny jokes and a guy who thinks he is Groucho Marx in a corny movie. At least this is in the category of so bad that it is ok.

Then...don't...watch...it...!
Put your index finger on the time ...move it way over to the right ...stop when there are a few minutes left. Watch that part. Shazam !!

This is the kind of movie that makes one regret that sound was added to films screeding females and un-actor males
