I saw this movie on RUclips a few years ago and I thought it was a very interesting,entertaining movie with a " novel" twist to it. Thank you,for showing it.
The days when women wrote screenplays, got top billing and the bit players were decent journeymen actors. Thank you for your time and effort ! June 2022
Swell flick. Good story. Barrymore some 10 yrs after his melodramatic silent days plays a good solid part. Bickford as chief detective was spot on. Lynne Overman as the reporter got off some great lines as did Cecil Cunningham as Mrs Alvin. As fan of Evelyn Brent, it's always good to see her no matter the role or billing. Thanks BC. Very enjoyable.
Just a few years before this, Evelyn Brent was the queen of the Paramount Studios, and here she's at the bottom of the cast list. It goes away quick, folks.
A great story paced just right so as to make it easy enough to follow and yet have suspense kept at the right level. Of course "The Great Profile" and Charles Bickford add icing to the cake.

Slick plot. Barrymore didn't have much of a part but he was quite convincing as a scoundrel. Interesting that he was trying to quit smoking. This was 1937.
Have read the comments, and no one mentioned Lynne Overman..he carried this movie, even with the likes of the other more notable and famous actors and actresses..
Lovely movie. I cannot believe my mom was 2 years old when it was filmed Why are today’s movies full of nudity and violence and foul language?? Why do actors and actresses have to shower naked?? Who said people want to see naked bodies blood and sex Even if, what about the ones who do not like such movies?? All we can watch are cartoons lol!!
WHAT was the significance of the ribbon placed strategically across the window shade?? I'd watch it again to find out, but wouldn't be able to stomach that reporter twice
There must have been sociological studies of the reason for these type-cast characters in Hollywood from that epoch, such as here the obnoxious brash drunken reporter who discovers stuff. But nowadays they just come across as unbelievable obnoxious jerks. Really, they are tiresome. But that role must have meant something to the audiences in the day. In addition here, there seems to be the implied incestuous relationship between the brother and sister which sort of distinguishes it.
Folks who seem to think of everything in terms of politics are quite concerning. Do you ever just live your life? You’ve all turned this into a real-life soap opera with much more on the line-our freedom. I pray that China, Russia or N Korea aren’t paying attention because if they are, then they’d know that this country is a sitting duck for communists and other anti-democracy countries. Sadly it looks like we are going to have to get taught a lesson instead of coming together and dropping the ridiculous political BS!

[ are you really being serious ]
Lynne Overman is incredibly irritating. This is one John Barrymore film I had never seen. Thank you very much.
Overman's part would have best suited William Demarest.
Love these old movies thanks for putting them on 👍🏼
Another classic Gem thank you ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
John Hamilton played the Governor,and he was Perry White in the tv series," Superman."
Well done! Good acting and Storyline! I appreciate the upload!
Awesome whodunit! Racing for new clues at every turn. Romance thrown in too!
Thank you from a John Barrymore fan.

Especially if you don’t FOCUS.
More sadness
She was one of the first stars of the talkies.Fame if you win it,comes and goes in a minute........
A really great movie. Story line, acting--great.Thank you.

A very well acted drama. Superb.
Slick plot. Barrymore didn't have much of a part but he was quite convincing as a scoundrel. Interesting that he was trying to quit smoking. This was 1937.
One of the finest dark comedies of the period!
The best part is when they stand around saying nothing for 58 seconds.
Such dry cutting humor, one brilliant stroke after the next.
Great movie
Have read the comments, and no one mentioned Lynne Overman..he carried this movie, even with the likes of the other more notable and famous actors and actresses..
Evelyn Brent' s part was small,but was quite effective!
John~ the best of the Barrymores, though his niche truly was in comedy.
6:04 $2000 in 1937 has the purchasing power of $40,596.67 today!
Glad I didn't read the description before watching the movie...
Very good movie! Charles Bickford, and Barrymore.
Love the joke at the very end... the best!!!
thank you
"He couldn't hit the floor if he fell out of bed!"
thanks
Quite enjoyable!

Predictable but pleasant enough
When I watch these films, I always wonder if this is how police departments played out a murder. I liked it and it was fun.
Excellent reminds me of how Columba must’ve taken its episodes from movies like this❣️❤️🫣🥰💖Thank you for uploading 🥰
_I wouldn't want to see the man who strangled my wife._
_That's because you're not married._
I wouldn't have minded getting into that conversation when I was still with my ex-wife (may she burn in Hell forever).
Lynn Overman always reminds me of William Demarest.
WHAT was the significance of the ribbon placed strategically across the window shade?? I'd watch it again to find out, but wouldn't be able to stomach that reporter twice
Nice 👍
I'm an optimist, too.
Serious subject, though, full of zingers.
Why leave that thing in the piano
Officer brown later became desk sarge Buffon in touchy blane filums
Mrs grumble from I live Lucy
Trumble!
Duffy later liked to listen to Kent carter dishing out with the Hollywood chatter on the radio, station kla, then was sent to shut him uo
The player piano ex deus machina notwithstanding. Yuck.

Glad I stayed with the movie but the reporter was so irritating that I hoped he would be the next victim!
Columbine club? What?
Columbine School opened in 1973. Sorry, but there's no connection.
GOOD MOVIE. REPUBLICANS 45, DEMON👹CRATS 0.
