A enjoyable mystery without vulgarity,blowing buildings and people up,just good acting.thankyou
Thanks for watching PizzaFLIX
Shirley, allow me to invite you to raise the bar that you judge "good acting throughout" by. The lead actor was a pro, the rest were sub-par.

A heck of a lot of shooting people, though. That seems rather ill-mannered.
What a treat, thanx
Plus here in 2020 I could use the quote from about 23 minutes about yellow journalism. “The power to make or break a man. Saying what to do, what to think, what to eat”. The MSM is just as disgusting 86 years later. Some things never change.
Again, many thanks 🙏
Actually, the thought process in that line is pretty much equivalent to what any Trumper would think today. Some things never change. Benjamin Frankline and Thomas Paine proved that the media is absolutely necessary to hold government's feet to the fire.
Henry Walthal was one of the better actors of the silents and early talkies.
Wonderful film filled with 1930s actors and scenes. The Professor was a well known actor of the time.
What a cute mystery! Thank you !
Love this era! Men wore a suit and tie daily, complete with hat.
Yes despite the great depression
@@jacobschweitzer1068 Because of the Depression. A suit could last many years.
My grandfather was born in 1891. He was a veterinarian, but wore a brim hat and tie, even while pulling calves or operating on other animals.
My grandmother the best we knew was born 1890. A teacher I knew was born 1890.
You can feel the transition from silent to talkie film.
This was made in 1934- 7 years into the “talkie” era. I think the clunkiness of the dialogue was more due to it being a very low-budget production. It was a “B” movie from a “Poverty Row” studio.
I love the 30s they are so cool and cute and chill out
and racist
85 years ago - Wow!
jeez, that's older than me!!! :}
@@feralbluee Me too-by 13 years. Yee-haw.
I can remember when I was a kid a dime was a lot of cash n a quarter was like a hundred bucks lol for the good times to coin Tony Bennett
Niece, not daughter of the chief suspect. And EVERYONE wore hats those days, and not backward baseball caps.
you're right! even hobos.
Nobody ever takes their hat off? All these guys sitting around indoors wearing their hats.
Uncouth.

Watch Carmelita shimmy only .25 cents........😁 guy mutters thats worth some money......lol
_Did anyone else notice the growling while they were in the “museum”? I never saw any “Lion & Tamer” act, or was I just hearing things_
Yeah, I noticed that too. I think something was cut out or disintegrated.
That was their stomachs, there was no popcorn machine in sight😉
Should've been named Murder at the Circus...lol
"Come on, babe." "Oh boy. Now that's worth plenty boys." Doesn't matter the era. Men were/are men! There were lots of inconsistencies in the old movies. One in this movie was were the newspaper man said that what he learned from the professor, he would "keep under his hat." Then as he was leaving the professor he said he just had "time to make the edition." I know, I know. Let's just enjoy the movies faults and all.
I really enjoyed this movie. The museum was more of a circus. The cops were a little too open with reporters was that common then or was it just Hollywood taking liberties?
Joe Cannon just a different time
Can I go in for the grilling? Sure! Go on in!
An enjoyably little film
I see why H.B. Walthall had the reputation as a better than good actor. The rest of this is rather a college drama-school production.
So much fun - thank you!!!
Great ending. He did seem suspicious but for the wrong reasons in my mind. Ashamed the guy was consumed with vengeance but at least against a bad guy. Exacted his justice and left.
Love some of the sporty cars in these movies, convertibles with long hoods and big fenders.
Most likely a V-12 under that hood. My uncle had one to fix up in the 60's but never did it. Saw the motor myself. I guess the multiple cylinders made them smooth running.
In any case, they look terrific.
Upmarket vehicle for a reporter with expensive Artillery wheels with wooden spokes
36 min in, the best part of the movie is the MUMMY!!
Excellent ☺
But the armless guy COULDN'T have done it! 'E's 'armless!!!
so low budget not even background music to the shimmy girls !
Thank you.
Ah the good professor, poor guy. Who in films today ever mentions anything on the intellectual level of "Schoupenhaur"!?
Mark Winston Suits Who in the audience today can even spell Schopenhaur correctly? :-)
@@EJP286CRSKW Who in the audience today has even read Schopenhaur, Immanuel Kant et al. ?
Sophie Seeker Err, me? Not Schopenhaur but certainly Kant.
@@EJP286CRSKW For me Schopenhaur was difficult as he is sooo depressed and it drips thru to his audience AND he has such a low opinion of women. I do enjoy Kant and much of Nietzsche even tho he also has a groove to put women into so he doesnt feel threatened and he evidently has had to deal with some silly ones ( havent we all ) but discounts the yuugely large audience of silly males. He is fun to me as his logic is easy to follow. One of my greatest wishes is that in not too distant future our schools will return to teaching LOGIC & REASON instead of feeeelings about issues that import no value to creating positive personal values..... siggghhh.
Will never forget a New Yorker tribute to Princess Diana, right after her death, when the magazine was still witty and adroit, not Si's family's scared "Progressive" prigs and prudes there now, " So what if Diana didn't know the difference between Schopenhauer and Chopin? She was absolutely lovely".
I first saw John Harron in "White Zombie" starring Bela Lugosi.🧛
.....when men wore fedoras....
In movies. In real life they wore a wide range of hats, just as they did in the old west.
It's funny how the smartest person in the room is always a woman even in the 30'd
And 40's
If it's a Progressive Pictures Corporation film, you KNOW it's going to be good !!
Following, a deep-treatment overview of this creepy masterpiece, compliments of TMC:
SPHERE MUSEUM is the home for a sleazy and bizarre collection of human freaks, sexy dancing girls and unnatural oddities. Hidden in the dark backstreets of a large metropolis, the sideshow caters to those who are looking for some cheap thrills and lurid entertainment. City Councilman Blair Newgate and Police Commissioner Brandon, both running for mayor, jointly pay a visit to the seedy museum hoping to bust the establishment which is presided over by a sinister professor and his corrupt sidekick. When Newgate is shot dead during the visit, clever newspaperman Jerry Ross and the Police Commissioner's pretty niece Lois join forces to solve the mystery. Hanging in the balance is the life of Commissioner Brandon, who has now become the primary suspect!
Murder In The Museum (a.k.a. The Five Deadly Vices) is a poverty row Hollywood whodunit that takes aim at the seedier side of life, inspired by the notoriety of Tod Browning's controversial classic Freaks released the year before. With a gritty voyeuristic realism and sleazy side-show atmosphere, Murder In The Museum delivers street-tough dialogue and a downbeat mood reflecting the Depression-era that spawned it. This is one of Melville Shyer's few full directing credits, having enjoyed a long career as one of Hollywood's premiere assistant directors. His work includes such thrillers as Frankenstein Meets The Wolf Man, Son Of Dracula and several Sherlock Holmes films. Look for Mexican-born actor and knife-thrower Steve Clemente, who tossed sharp objects in numerous films (including King Kong and Most Dangerous Game) throughout the 30s and 40s.
Empires have fallen under the wiggle of Fatima...lol
Laura Derns shorts in Jurassic Park caused a heatwave here in London!!!!
She must have been really old😅
Thanks!
This is really a dreary movie, but at least it's far better than watching the news about the criminals burning down our cities. *And in the middle of a pandemic, no less.
thank you
I love me some poverty row movies. They never pretended to be anything than what they are. Is it a great mystery? No. But its sure fun to watch a pre code story that has some fun moments.
nice one pizzaflix thank`s for the upload`s.
The films in those years was better in Europe than in Hollywood.
3:00 nugat in the center. hardy har, har, har
without a past there is no future.
What's the table got to do with the murder?
Love the mystery s
interesting movie
Was interesting.(ls)
Nice
If not been mentioned before......at 12.39,the gal's name is....komlicka......think about it!!😂😂
The power of the press to make or break a man telling the people what to think to do and to eat > 22nd minutes. ha ha ha 1934 film > . but even now presss doing the same thing. Election 2020
This must be a pre-Hayes Code movie--you can see the dancers' belly buttons!
Is. Later you could kill as many people as you wanted but heaven forfend if you showed a bit of skin. :)
Strange there was no music.🎶
@@scarygary-qq1pj with a shimmy like that who needs music??
Is there a bear somewhere? Ikeep on hearing a bear roaring.
Good flick.

Eh?
Boring 😴😴😴. I old old movie but this one 👎.
Not bad, not great. The acting is amateurish but the storyline is okay.
Debra Bolton They acted better than they do today and this was a fun watch...lol
Sleep problems?,,,,,,Watch this film.
I agree it is not good, & not helped by the poor picture quality. The only decent performance is from the magician, who funny enough is listed above the title as the star. The boorish newspaper reporter & main female lead are pretty bad.
If your bored to tears, watch this film......because by the time it's over, you will be.
