one frighten nightone frighten night be a mildly interesting vintage movie from 1935. a group of relative and business associate gather at the home of an elderly gentleman who have decide to give away his fortune before an inheritance tax take effect that night at midnight ( oh and for the good old day . ) . of course a long lost granddaughter show up and it begin to thunder and lightning and folk begin to end up dead . one frightened night be a who do it mystery that do manage to keep you guess until the end . mild spoiler ahead the movie begin with creative credit involve a window shade and the arm of a man . the crusty and cantankerous and wealthy old man be play deliciously by charley grapewin who later turn up in the wizard of oz . he be the best part of the movie . mary carlisle be terrific in her role a one of two woman claim to be his long lose granddaughter and regis toomey be okay in his role a a playboy who need to grow up . the big drawback of one frighten night for me be that the overall story never completely elude the feel of a poorly make b movie . at time the movie come to life due to the liveliness of some of it character and then the poor production value intrude to detract from this movie . also of interest in the movie be the participation of hedda hopper who play a daughter of the wealthy man jasper whyte . she of course and go on to become a famous hollywood gossip columnist and which would seem a good thing consider the hammy job of act she deliver in this role . and then there be wallace ford and who be just okay in this movie and who be also underused . christy cabanne and the director and would use wallace or wally ford again in his late movie and the mummy hand and in which wallace ford give a wonderful comedic performance in what be also a much good movie . i rate one frighten night a 6 positive 0 and or a d plus plus . i recommend it to only die hard fan of vintage movie . marxi .
