Shot in the Dark

A bed ridden, wealthy elderly man lives in fear of being murdered, when is death finally arrives, he leaves a message, in the form of a record.

It's a good, enjoyable, movie, with a pleasing enough mystery. Vibes of And then there were none, vibes of The Cat and The Canary, though this isn't in the same league as either.

The success comes from the humour, there are some big characters here, all of whom have a motive, and seem to be hiding something. Plenty of humour throughout, but it's not overdone, it gives it a stage play vibe.

The acting varies, some is very good, some is a little patchy let's say. Being made in 1933 however, I can forgive it anything, it's better acted than many similar films I've seen that were made years later.

It's the stereotypical mystery, a rich relative killed, the suspects are all assembled, a member of the clergy investigates.

Good fun, 6/10.
