FOG ISLAND(1945)
In the set: 100 Greatest Mystery Classics


The first half hour or so of this is just story line!
Nothing really happens! But at about 30 minutes in
strange things start happening! An interesting film,
worth watching a couple of times! You're never
quite sure who's the good guys! C+

A review from IMDb.com:

First time of watching: entertaining low budget
spooky house mystery with Zucco and Atwill at their
eye-popping peaks. Terrible print - the negative
must look transparent, so I would definitely
recommend switching the lights off (or a cinema)
for optimum viewing.

It's a PRC stagey mix of And Then There Were None
(in this case, Two) and The Cat And The Canary,
with a few extra twists, but with only nine
characters. The butler was a short-lived oddball
however, quickly dispatched with gusto from the
plot to the cynical amusement of Zucco. To my
cynical amusement it's at that moment that Zucco
is reminded that he "blew his top" when he was
in prison - not hard to imagine!

The male romantic lead was even more wooden,
impetuous and prescient than the rest of the
cast (Jerome Cowan was wasted yet again), but
overall I enjoyed the film, nice atmosphere
when the print allowed and an almost believable
nasty-revenge storyline. - Spondonman
