*** This comment may contain spoilers ***
Before a rehearsal at the Hollywood bowl, philandering tenor is warned of danger if he sings in the next nights opera by a mystic, The tenor laughs it off. When he's attacked by an escaped maniac everyone thinks that perhaps there is something to it. As show time draws near signs of danger increases until the tenor is killed during a performance in front of 20,000 witnesses. Things get complicated as more mayhem happens. Breezy murder mystery with Chester Morris and Leo Carrillo is the sort of thing that you might as well just sit and enjoy since odds are you're not going to figure it out (The clues are a late in the game revelation-revealed semi fairly). It's a got a great cast some good laughs (of the right sort) and a nicely complicated plot. If there is any real flaw its that there is a too much music. There isn't anything wrong with the opera scenes by themselves, rather its that this film barely runs over an hour and the lengthy singing scenes make the rest of the film feel rushed. Worth a look if you run across it.
