Review by ksf-2

Sunset Murder Case

5/10

rough around the edges, for a film from 1938

Last thing Sally Rand ever did. started in the silents, did a couple more talkies, then was done with hollywood. Co-star Vince Barnett actually stuck around and did a TON of talkies, right up to 1975. Sound, picture, and editing are all TERRIBLE, but I guess we're lucky to still have this one around in any form. When Sally does her stage act, the sound is so bad, it's distracting. Badly in need of restoration, but it's probably in public domain at this point, so it would have to be a non-profit that doesn't need the cash. almost useless to try to follow a story here... someone apparently murdered her father, and she's determined to track them down. Not sure what the heck is going on here.. be sure to watch the Dance of the Droopy Dresses about halfway through. Directed by frenchman Louis Gasnier; he had come to the US right when silents were starting in hollywood. he only made a couple more films after this one.... and probably his best known work was the un-intentionally funny "Reefer Madness". Skip this one... there's a reason it's rarely shown. More annoying than entertaining. thank goodness its over in an hour. Currently on Moonlight Movies channel.
