14.9.13

the thirteenth guest (1932)

aka Lady Beware.
"Wasn't your father's will unusual."
Mary Morgan (Ginger Rogers) arrives at the house where her father died thirteen years previously, only to be bumped off herself. Captain Ryan (J. Farrell MacDonald) and investigator Phil Winston (Lyle Talbot) try to puzzle it out, guessing that one of the guests at a dinner party held on the night Morgan senior died must be behind the murder, but the plot soon thickens.
Acceptable murder mystery, without rising above the mediocre.
