This is a fun, cheap movie. They did very well for Monogram, which also brought us the Charlie Chan collection. I saw the alpha video version on DVD. It was in black and white and very grainy. But once you get into the story, you will not notice this. It is also good enough for repeat watching.
This movie has its favorite formula: an old, wealthy lady just barely won a courtroom trial in which her family tried to put her away as mentally unstable. After this, she invites all of her family to visit the mansion at midnight. Those who will not come will not inherit her fortune. Those who do come may die!
This movie has all of the standard mysterious characters, all of whom could be victims, and any of them could be the murderer. There are secret passages and comic relief. It may not be the best entertainment in the world, but it is surely not one to be missed.
