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
missing. Then, of course, he investigates a little more, and...

The mysterious death of a notoriously candid author provides the basis
of this mystery.
Investigators do not believe the suicide note found
with his corpse. It seems the author had written a scandalous
autobiography detailing his many affairs, with no regard to the feelings
of the women involved.
|
Also known as The Amazing Mr. X, The Spiritualist stars Turhan
Bey as the title character, a mysterious mystic named Alexis.
Making a comfortable living by fleecing the gullible wealthy, Alexis'
latest target is grieving young widow Christine Faber (Lynn
Bari).
Hoping to communicate with her husband, who supposedly died
in a car crash two years earlier, Christine submits to Alexis'
crystal-ball act. Our hero finds out more than he bargained for when the
"deceased" Mr. Faber (Donald Curtis) turns up very much alive as the central
figure in an elaborate fraud scheme.

"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.

British musical comedy star Jack Hulbert plays an amateur sleuth who takes over for the "real" Bulldog Drummond (Atholl Fleming), who is sidelined by an injury.
|
In his first starring role (after being second-billed to Claudette Colbert in The Gilded Lily), Fred MacMurray plays officer Ross Martin of the Michigan State Police.
After completing his training, Martin is pitted against dignified Professor Anthony (Sir Guy Standing), who uses his academic status as a cover for his bank-robbery activities.
|
When wealthy Mr. Ames is murdered, his beautiful wife Hope (Madeleine Carroll) is the principal suspect. She is acquitted through lack of evidence, but it's hardly a happy ending.
Her son Bobbie (Scotty Beckett)
is taken away from her by spiteful relatives, who poison the boy's mind
against her. Making matters worse, assistant DA Matt Logan (George Brent)
is still convinced that Hope is guilty.
|
Never mind the title and the musical content: College Scandal is at heart a murder mystery, and a pretty suspenseful one at that. Several mysterious killings have taken place at a co-ed college, and it looks as though there won't be anyone left alive to appear in the annual campus musical.

furnishings spotless has driven away most of her friends.
Harriet's husband Walter (John Boles)

even he has a breaking point: this comes when, during a moment of dire
crisis, she reveals that she is more concerned with her own well-being
than her husband's.

This unique thriller chronicles the exploits of a doctor who will do
almost anything to please his young, second wife.
She wants more money.
He arranges to get it by hypnotizing a bank official and making him
extract $100,000 from the vault. The doctor then plans to murder him
and then rob him.
|
Crime Without Passion is an odd, almost existential murder yarn. Famed attorney Claude Rains, incensed that his mistress (Margo) has been seeing other men, kills the girl--or at least thinks he does.
Rains believes he is "above" such irritations as conscience and morality, and calmly arranges to cover his crime, using his knowledge of the law to escape detection.
|
While the opening credits are
rolling, the audience is introduced to the five main suspects in the
murder of a certain Mr. Crosby. Police inspector Thomas (Alan Dinehart) believes that Lynn Ashton (Wynne Gibson), an ex-lover of the victim, is the most likely
suspect, though the audience is encouraged not to discount the elderly,
seemingly frail Lubeck (Edward Van Sloan), oafish thief Collins (Warren Hymer), heavily-in-debt gambler Willie (John
Wray), or even avuncular nightclub doorman Costello (J. Farrell McDonald).
|
Defense Atorney Gerald Waring uses great skill and ingenuity in his efforts to save the life of a boy charged with the murder of his father. Witness after witness piles up damaging evidence against the accused youth, but expert cross-examination by Waring digs out the startling truth behind the killing and subsequently reveals the identity of the real killer in a surprise-twist ending.

|
Set in 1910 Manhattan, the film stars Mary Morris and Anne Revere,

Upon reaching adulthood, Richard (Louis Hayward) becomes a prominent playwright, confident
that the stage is in his blood, while Clarissa secretly sells her store
at a loss to finance Richard's first production.

trouble. The bright girl's parents take her and her nephew on a sea
cruise to Paris.
When she is not bedeviling her
cousin, she is helping her father get out of trouble with con artists.
|
|
Akim Tamiroff
plays the Great Gambini, a famous magician mixed up in a murder case.
In addition to his card tricks and onstage illusions, Gambini is
something of a mystic, and has predicted the death of the murder
victim.
Suspects breed like rabbits, but the actual culprit turns out
to be the only person Gambini truly loves (It's not hard to figure out
who done it; only in the last reel do we find out why).

The Great Hotel Murder:
A writer of mysteries helps a house detective solve a murder in this
murder mystery. The murder occurs in the hotel in which the writer is
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).

|
Even allowing for the comparative freedom of the pre-Production Code years, 1930's Hell Harbor was pretty
strong meat for its time.
The story is set on a remote Caribbean island, entirely populated by descendants of Sir Henry Morgan's pirate crew. Morgan's brutish great-great-grandson Henry Morgan (Gibson Gowland) intends to shower himself with gold and to that end forces his daughter Anita (Lupe Velez) into a marriage with despicable moneylender Joseph Horngold (Jean Hersholt).
Coming to Anita's rescue is shipwrecked American sailor Bob Wade (John Holland), whose presence sparks an unchecked riot on the island. Director Henry King also produced the film through his own Inspiration Pictures Corporation.

Lyon) can't get a decent night's rest from his waterfront beat.

is a politician running for president; while he has talent and

In this romantic drama, an ex-con conceals her criminal past and starts a new life with a kindly cab driver. Together, the two friends leave the city and move to the suburbs where she helps him set up an auto mechanic business. Though they are in love, they cannot marry for she is still legally the wife of her incarcerated ex-crime partner. Things get more sticky when a seductive socialite attempts to steal the cabbie from the ex-con. More trouble follows when her husband busts out of jail and she is blamed with helping him escape.

Fredric March stars as Richard Hardell, a silent-screen idol
whose transition to talkies is threatened by his inability to remember
his lines.
Driven to distraction, Hardell's director Richard Borka (Warner Oland) wonders if his star will be able to get through
the all-important "murder scene" in his current picture.

Suddenly is the name of the small town invaded by professional assassin Frank Sinatra and his henchmen.
Taking a local family hostage, Sinatra
sets up a vigil at the second-story window of the family's home. From
here, he intends to kill the President of the United States when the
latter makes a whistle-stop visit.
The film's tension level is enough
to induce goose pimples from first scene to last. Sinatra
is outstanding as the disgruntled war vet who hopes to become a
"somebody" by killing the president.

Virginia Bruce and Melvyn Douglas star as Sally and Bill
Reardon, husband-and-wife private eyes (Bruce took over from Joan
Blondell, who costarred with Douglas in 1938's There's Always a Woman).
This
time around, the Reardons investigate a series of jewel robberies which
lead to a brace of murders. At times the comedy threatens to overwhelm
the mystery angle, but rest assured that Bill Reardon will have collared
the guilty party (or, in this case, guilty parties) a few minutes
before closing.
