  4. I haven't watched the movie yet. I just wanted to say, for both the actors and us the viewers; these kinds of movies where they place a name with the actor are great when one isn't sure of which actor played which part. I'm sure it helped an actor gain fame and gave them an audience. When I refer to the word actor, I use it to mean both females and males! A painter is a painter-male or female, a writer is a writer, male or female!

  7. A very good early Universal guess-the- murderer thriller. Only people who don't like old movies will nitpick. I like these movies. I even like silent movies. Nitpickers…try to project yourselves back to 1933. Then prepare to enjoy yourselves.

  20. To 'Ryan' and 'Elizabeth Frantes': the theme music is indeed 'Swan Lake' and was indeed used in 'The Mummy' in 1932. It was also used—-don't you remember?—-in 'Dracula' in 1931.

  21. Charity Cox says that Gloria Stuart had a great singing voice. She might have, but on the other hand that might have been dubbed in. As for the piano playing, her hand movements don't quite match the music. *It's not good to be too 'nit-picky', like Ward Jones says. Sit back and enjoy a better period of history. I would trade 2016 for 1930 any day.

  27. Personally, I'd been convinced it was either the old lady or the father. The father was especially suspicious– he said he'd left the house to go and search for the real killer, when the killings were only happening in the blue room! That doesn't even make any sense. Either the writer wanted to quickly tidy up a plot hole, or the father was up to other shady things (his house had a secret passageway, for crying out loud). The old lady? Psh. Just because she was elderly, a woman, and cried "I didn't do it, I'm deaf!" doesn't mean she was innocent. If anything, it just made her more suspicious.

  39. It was never considered a lost movie. It was shown on TV first in the late Fifties and consistently thereafter. And used 16mm prints have been trading hands among collectors for close to 50 years now.

  44. i love this movie.saw Dracula at 10yrs old.my dad called it old then 1953.very scarry for it's time &no one can ever be Dracula after Bela .my cousin was PatO 'brien.made dozens of movies like "angels with dirty faces.he's mostly forgotten.what a shame.
