    Good Murder Mystery

    Edmund Lowe plays the role as Philo Vance a detective who tries to solve a series of murders in the Hammle Family who live in a 22 room apartment in NYC. The first member of the family is murdered, Edgar Lowe Hammle,(Gene Lockhart) and then Zalia Graem, (Virginia Bruce) appears on the scene and is accused of being a murderer when a woman falls to her death from a double decker bus. Zalia Graem and Philo Vance gave an outstanding performance together and there is a spark of romance between the two of them as Philo tries to help prove her innocence in the murder case. This is a low budget B film from 1936 but has a great story with even hypnoses being utilized. Enjoy.

    Entertaining Philo Vance Movie with Great Cast

    Philo Vance is back with a new face and minus that thick accent he had in the last film (ha!). This time Vance is investigating strange suicides. The best part of the movie is the return of Etienne Girardot as coroner Dr. Doremus. This wonderful actor steals every scene he's in. He was previously in two Philo Vance films in a row, The Kennel Murder Case and The Dragon Murder Case. But then he was noticeably absent in The Casino Murder Case. His part was played by a dull actor with no flair for comedy. This marks his return to the role but sadly is also the last time he'll play it. By coincidence or not, the three Vance films Girardot are in also happen to be the best three of the series.

    The rest of the cast is solid. Edmund Lowe is not as well-known as William Powell or even Warren William, but he's charming and good with comedy. If you get a chance to see it, check out the underrated gem Espionage (1937) that he stars in. He's wonderful in that. The supporting cast here is pretty impressive. Great character actors Nat Pendleton, Gene Lockhart, H.B. Warner, Jessie Ralph, Henry B. Walthall, and Grant Mitchell -- nice lineup. Also beauties Virginia Bruce, Frieda Inescort, and Benita Hume, who would go on to be Mrs. Ronald Colman and then Mrs. George Sanders! This also happens to be the film debut of Kent Smith, leading man of the Cat People movies. This is a good B detective flick with a short runtime and quick pace. It's not the best of the series but it's up there. It's a shame Lowe didn't play Vance anymore. The series badly needed a steady actor in the role.

    Edmund Lowe makes a personable Philo Vance, but the script is pretty dumb.

    Of the ten actors who portrayed Philo Vance in the series, Edmund Lowe seemed the most personable, but in this script the audience is way ahead of the famed detective. After all, when the jockey, Douglas Walton, stares blankly in space, obviously hypnotized, and says something like "I must ride and be killed," I felt it was dumb that no one picked up on it after he does get killed. The police thought it was a suicide because he said he would do it! After hated horse owner Gene Lockhart gets shot and killed, Frieda Inescort does the same thing, saying she's going out to be killed, and then fatally jumps off a bus. I laughed when Lowe finally yells "I got it," as though it were a revelation. The guilty party, however, was cleverly concealed and there was considerable suspense generated when that party starts to hypnotize Lowe to get him to jump off a roof.

    Edmund Lowe's turn at playing Philo Vance

    This mystery involves the death of three people that may be suicides and again might be murder. The dead are - a jockey, a wealthy corrupt man who was hated by many, including his own family, and a woman who called the police and said she could tell them something about the death of the corrupt man.

    These Philo Vance mysteries from 1930 to 1940 are all over the place as far as the persona of the titular character, the pace, and even the studio at which they were made. In this entry, Philo Vance is played by Edmund Lowe who gives a dapper and restrained performance, much along the lines of William Powell's interpretation of the character in the four Philo Vance films in which he starred. Lowe's portrayal brings out the detective's wit, charm, and sharp intellect, capturing the essence of Vance's original literary persona. Also, this Philo Vance loves dogs!

    A negative aspect of the production is the pacing occasionally slows down in certain scenes. Additionally, a few characters receive less development than others, leaving their motivations feeling slightly underexplored. A positive aspect is that in this film Vance's resolution to the mystery does come from the various clues he uncovers, not pulled from almost thin air as was the situation in the Dragon Murder Case.

    I really liked the performances in this one, especially Edmund Lowe as Vance although I couldn't figure out why he would begin to fall for the murdered Hammle's niece and heir, Zalia. At best she is someone who blows hot and cold on relationships - she impulsively breaks an engagement with somebody because he is a bit naive. And at worst she could be the murderer!

    Philo Vance hypnotize scene repeated in 1945

    When Philo Vance (Edmund Lowe) is standing precariously on the edge of a balcony high above the city, apparently hypnotized and just about to step to his death,it immediately reminded me of a nearly identical scene in another film made nine years later, "The Woman in Green" in which Sherlock Holmes (Basil Rathbone)is similarly about to hurl himself into space while being hypnotized.

    Happily, both Philo Vance and Sherlock Holmes survive these attempts at murder by unscrupulous criminals. Exciting cinematic suspense in both these scenes. When will they learn you can't cloud the minds of great fictional detectives ?

      Both Edmund Lowe and Virginia Bruce lived to an old age, and both lived out their final years at the Motion Picture Country Home in Woodland Hills, a movie industry charity which offers support to former film-makers without the means to provide for basic needs like living quarters and health-care.
    • Erros de gravação
      Near the end when Vance is taking Zalia Graem to the police station, she says she wants to walk rather than ride in his convertible. He looks up and says it is going to rain, but agrees to walk. Yet Vance never thinks to put the top up on his car to prevent it from getting wet.
