Lloyd Nolan was always a dependable commodity as an actor, and this role is no exception. Adding to his talents is the very funny William Demarest, he of the perfect Vaudeville comedy timing. Together, they are quite entertaining, while both are trying to solve a bizarre murder mystery. The other talent in the film is strictly B movie level, but Demarest and Nolan lift this mediocre script out of the realm of the dreary, and into the realm of entertaining. There is also an appearance of Rochester (he of Jack Benny fame), which is an additional light touch. Two actors are killed and the suspected killer is a member of the original cast from several years back. An interesting concept.
