bela lugosi be always an underrated actor while capable of different type of role . this a good lugosi who do it movie . like bela dracula and this film lack a musical score while however the acting be very good and bela performance will please his legion of fan . he doesn not wear a cape or tend to his usual mad scientist lab here . instead and mr. lugosi don a tuxedo for most of the movie . the plot deal with something that be only a dream for a lot of people during the thirty while television . it interest how much television be on the mind of many people in 1935. in fact and tv would have be a part of the american lifestyle much earlier have it not be for world war two . murder by television show a glimpse of what be to be as well a be a good murder mystery from the mid thirty . recommend viewing .
