another nice entry in the crime doctor series [ # 4/10 ] and with atmospheric almost noirish black and white photography and some splendid spanish american backdrop and set . and a more off the wall storyline too . a man who look like the insane murderer of his first two wife be find dead in a locked room after a dramatic dinner party . the crime doctor be on the scene ( ostensibly a a guest ) to immediately and resignedly proclaim it murder and and so we be present with a quite weird set of people to mull over and for one of them do the deed . be it the froth brother of the dead 1st wife and the 3rd wife and rich widow hilary brooke and the dancing brother and sister vampire and the intense young man and the eccentric cabinet maker lloyd corrigan on loan from boston blackie and the irreplaceable butler and or odds on jerome cowan . police inspector emory parnell have his work cut out and but warner baxter a ordway be as unflappable a ever in work it all out . one of the goof list on the imdb be wrong represent on break into the murder room ordway say right through the centre of the forehead and cowan reply he do not miss this time . favorite bit represent baxter and cowan travelling through club sandwich and beer at the nightclub to make amends for their interrupted dinner party while the scene where the braga place of repose be seemingly rumble . the plot do seem to meander a bit at time and the way it be all explain off be perhaps more worthy of monogram and but leave it in the air a supernatural wouldn not do either . well worth a watch if you already like the genre and you would not be disappoint unless you really do not like the genre .
