8/10

Enjoyable "B" mystery

Any movie from the Michael Shayne Detective series can be counted on to deliver an enjoyable mystery story. In this film Lloyd Nolan once again delivers a good performance as he works to solve a murder which took place at the estate of a wealthy US Senator. Everything wraps-up neatly in about 65 minutes which means that there is no wasted time with boring sub plots or long talky scenes ala todays' crop of over hyped and over long releases. A good supporting cast helps Nolan turn this into a fine stylish film. Olin Howlin does a great job and provides just the right amount of restrained comic relief as the police chief. Enjoy

Quiz
When Meek and Shayne are pursuing the "ghost" in Meek's car, Shayne tells Meek to shoot the tyres in the other car. Meek refuses as they are his tyres and that he "can't get any more...". During the Second World War, tyres were rationed in the USA. A limited number of people (e.g. nurses, fire brigades, police) were able to apply to the local rationing board for approval to purchase brand new tyres. Everybody else had to patch their tyres or replace the treads.

Blooper
When Shayne confronts Dudley Wolff, his wife and Dunning in the den, he refers to Wolff's partner buried "last night in the woods". That was actually two nights before, as the previous night was the one when Dr Haggard got killed.

Citazioni
Anna Wolff: [offering a drink] Would you care for something to warm you up?
Catherine Wolff: I was on the wagon, but I'll think I'll step off and give my seat to a gentleman.
