I've always been a fan of films where the killer is disguised in some way.....usually hunchbacked, a long cloak, a hat pulled down over his face, and a decided limp. That's why i LOVE this film! :)
(Other films with "disfigured murderers" are The Bat Whispers, Miss Pinkerton & the Cat & the Canary).
This film also uses a stock music track that was most noticeably used in "The Clutching Hand" serial...........viewing this film, it's difficult to believe that this film is a LATE 30's entry!!!
A weird-looking killer, known as "The Fiend" is out to murder the members of a Broadway show, with a most unusual weapon (no spoiler here!).
The lites go out, and the person is dead....they've been poisoned, but without a mark on them!
Two newpaper employees try to track 'em down (to get the scoop and the reward money for their honeymoon----they do, of course!).
Despite what the "trivia" says, this film IS NOT "LOST" !!!!!!!!!!!!! I have a copy of it, and i imagine that there are others out there somewhere.
This is a MUST SEE........IF you're lucky enuff to find it!
