Paul Cavanagh in Curtain at Eight (1933)

Review by Bernie4444

Curtain at Eight

5/10

Don't monkey around with women.

Wylie Thornton (Paul Cavanagh) does some big-time philandering. He has several women hooked including the chimpanzee. He puts out the standard story that he is going to leave his wife of whom he has never talked to in quite some time; all the time his wife is listening and snickering in the background.

It doesn't take us long to realize who's going to be shot. However, the plot is more complex than you would suspect. An inept policeman Marty Gallagher (Sam Hardy) suspects everybody and as usual, comes near to arresting everybody. Only Detective Jim Hanvey (C. Aubrey Smith) can glean the truth out of this complex situation. He must do so before reporter Terry Mooney (Russell Hopton) does some gleaning of his own.

It is a fun movie. However, they do a lot of fumbling and make up obscure connections between people and events. Oh yes, I think C. Aubrey Smith must have been born old.
