Private detective Simon Lash (Arlen) is contacted by Joyce, an
ex-girlfriend who jilted him at the altar. Joyce is played by Veda Ann
Borg, who always looked trashy. Joyce's husband Jim has been suffering from
bouts of amnesia, and now he's gone missing altogether.
Jim was a bank
executive, and private-eye Lash is a cynical
sleuth, so he naturally assumes that Jim's 'amnesia' was a pretext for
embezzling bank funds. But then Lash investigates, and no funds are

"The Argyle Secrets" is a poverty-row noir made in 1948 for Eronel
Productions that follows newsman Harry
Mitchell (William Gargan), hot on the trail of the mysterious Argyle
album.
The album is a package of incriminating evidence of wartime collaboration and
betrayal that results early on in the death of an older, famous
reporter whose fragmentary whispers and one photo-stat of the cover of
the album lead Mitchell on what first seems to be a wild goose chase in
search of an item that may or may not even really exist.

the gobs assumes that he's the only man in Ruby's life, and when
several of her boyfriends converge upon the pharmacy all at once, they

The Great Hotel Murder:

staying. It is a mystery because, though the corpse was found in a
hotel room, it was not the room he had registered for.
Guilty as Hell:
Victor McLaglen and Edmund Lowe carry their pugnacious Quirt-and-Flagg
relationship into the murder mystery genre in Guilty as Hell. Actually,
there's very little mystery involved, since the audience is informed at
the outset that dignified Dr. Tindall (Henry Stephenson) is responsible
for the death of his faithless wife (Claire Dodd).

Hollywood Boulevard 1936 - 70 min. Hollywood
Boulevard is a trenchant look at the underside of Tinseltown. Though
the nominal hero is a disillusioned screenwriter played by Robert
Cummings (whose dialogue anticipates the lines spoken by William Holden
in 1950's Sunset Boulevard), the focus of the story is John Halliday as
a washed-up film star.
The Preview Murder Mystery 1936 - 60 min.It's
a black night in Hollywood when matinee idol Neil DuBeck (Rod LaRoque)
is murdered at the preview of his latest film. Director E. Gordon Smith
(Ian Keith), who has long harbored a deep hatred for DuBeck, is the
main suspect — until he too is killed, along with a movie-studio
watchman (Spencer Charters).

|

incognito as he trails a team of crooks from Brooklyn to Kansas.
