secret of the blue room be competently make and with atmosphere to spare and but doesn not particularly stand out from this type of film and this and i guess and be one of the reason why it isn not well know today . it boast a fine cast and certainly and but theyre not really inspire by the material represent atwill be merely a red herring and isn not even the lead character despite his top billing while gloria stuart role be nothing compare to the one she play in the old dark house ( 1932 ) and though she do get to sing in this one . while paul lukas be an interesting hero represent dapper and mature and sport a heavy hungarian accent a la bela lugosi . while edward arnold belated entrance and in my opinion and bring the film to life after a rather slow first half . a for the mystery and well and after the tale tell by atwill about what occur in the blue room all those year ago and one expect an explanation by the film end but this aspect be never properly resolve ( nor be the business about the stranger who break into the mansion ) represent instead and we get a twist end which have actually occur to me a i lay watch the film but have subsequently dismiss a be too obvious . all in all and apart from some stilted dialogue ( courtesy of william hurlbut and who lated write bride of frankenstein [ 1935 ] . ) and secret of the blue room be a very entertaining little film which could have be more interestingly develop but the main thing here be watch these wonderful actor and the universal house style in action .
