Movie review - "The Unknown" (1946) **1/2

 The last in the I Love a Mystery trilogy has many wonderful things - splendid photography, sets, Old Dark House atmosphere - and starts very well, but there's not enough plot to justify a feature. Also the two leads, the investigators, don't need to be in the film, they feel shoehorned in. The film gets off to a flying spooky beginning but becomes bogged down.

There's a lot of hammy Southern acting which is part of the fun.
