KENNEL MURDER CASE, THE(1933)
In the set: 100 Greatest Mystery Classics
It all starts with a dog being killed! Then a
mean, totally unlikable man commits suicide!
He's found in a locked room with a gun in his
hand and a bullet in his head! Enter Philo
Vance to sort the whole thing out! This is
quite entertaining!! B+
From an IMDb.com customer:
Why can't this type of compact, entertaining
mystery be filmed in the new century? It keeps
the viewer thinking and guessing all the way.
The cast is a great ensemble. William Powell
exhibits true star quality. Who knows--perhaps
he was rehearsing for his future as Nick Charles.
He is a joy to watch. One also can see why
Eugene Pallette made more than 200 films. He
is a great supporting character actor and his
excellent chemistry with Powell is fun to
watch. Mary Astor does above average work
in a not very meaty role. All other hands
chip in to make this a thoroughly enjoyable
way to spend 73 minutes. I suspect Michael
Curtiz had a ball directing his one.
