Allen Eyles
One of those irritating thrillers that explain away an implausible plot through a cheat ending. Murder is committed in the Bloomsbury boarding house run by Frieda Inescort and Miles Mander and investigated by a resident, Bruce Lester's budding playwright. Turhan Bey plays a shady Asian businessman in one of his earliest screen appearances while Paul Cavanagh and Lumsden Hare are familiar faces in the cast list. This was one of many B-feature remakes from Warner Bros, a Hollywood version of the minor 1932 British production
Murder on the Second Floor
, based on a play of that name by the writer and character actor Frank Vosper.
Summary
A string of murders is uncovered surrounding a London boarding house, and all the residents become suspects. Mystery, starring Frieda Inescort and Paul Cavanagh.
