Philip Terry popped up in a few movies but is probably best remembered as Mr Joan Crawford (for a time). He's not overly charismatic, though he's not bad - I guess I was hoping for, I don't know, Tom Conway or something.
It's an RKO B which means it looks schmick. Lew Landers directs with competence - it's a dark deserted house, mystery guests. Jacqueline White is a competent leading gal, Eduardo Cianelli a competent threat.
This started well but as it went on it got tired, Terry's lack of energy started to tell. The whole thing felt tired and rote. A really keen director and cast could've made something more of this.
Still, looks good.
