We have been cheated out of many chances to make a good version of "Busman's Honeymoon" by Dorothy L. Sayers. The owners of the movie rights just wanted too much money.
However, after getting over the shocks of the differences from the book and the hokey pledge not to sleuth any more, this movie, "Haunted Honeymoon" (1940), starring Robert Montgomery and Constance C-u-m-m-i-n-g-s. It can stand on its own and is worth re-watching occasionally.
As long as you do not compare this movie, strangely named “Haunted Honeymoon” to "Busman's Honeymoon" by Dorothy L. Sayers. You can see that they tried to make an interesting murder (maybe) mystery. When Squire Nokes (Roy Emerton) walks through the door, it will be the last time he is seen alive! Five people could have done it.
Of course, everyone looks guilty and carries with them a secret.
