THE MOONSTONE(1934)
In the set: 100 Greatest Mystery Classics


A valuable gem is stolen and the hunt is on
for the culprit! Also going on is that the gem's
owner's father has collapsed after having gone
out in a bad storm! Many suspects!! B-

A review from IMDb.com:

The only similarity I see between this and its
namesake is the jewel. The rest is a pretty typical
drawing room mystery. It has a pretty decent set
of eccentric characters, a love interest, a man
in a turban (very exotic, right), and a lot of
shenanigans. The carelessness with which the
stone, worth a fortune, is treated stops me.
The female lead is totally unappealing. She
is so dumb that I couldn't care less what
happens to her. Her fiancé is a big lunk with
no real character. There is some atmosphere
of the mansion in the rain. The lights go out
and there is a bit of a surprise. Overall,
however, it lacks much development and ends
in a rather far fetched way. - Hitchcoc
