Trivia:
During the impressive film career of Ginger Rogers -- her Hollywood era totaling 73 feature appearances between 1930 and 1965 -- only five of her movies failed to be rewarded with contemporary New York Times reviews: this picture, Rafter Romance (1933), the British-made Beautiful Stranger (1954), The First Traveling Saleslady (1956) and The Confession (1964). moreSoundtrack:

Routine but likable 'old dark house' mystery thriller with numerous familiar but enjoyable trappings (a family reunion for the reading of a will is followed by multiple murders committed by a hooded figure). There's also comic relief from an inept policeman, while romantic interest for potential heiress Ginger Rogers is provided by the dashing detective on the case (Lyle Talbot); an interesting plot point involves a girl who undergoes plastic surgery in an attempt to replace Rogers. Unsurprisingly, the Alpha print is extremely poor but I'm glad I had this opportunity to watch the film. Director Ray and Rogers later collaborated on the similar A SHRIEK IN THE NIGHT (1933), which I watched a couple of years back (thanks to Michael Elliott).
