Comment
The owner and residents of a London boarding house become murder suspects after bodies start to found in the boarding house. This is a Hollywood version of a British stage play that is a mix of comedy and murder mystery. The cast do well to mix the two elements particularly Frieda Inescort as the landlady and Heather Angel as the maid.
