midnight at madame tussaud's (1936)

aka Midnight At the Wax Museum.
"He'll never hand over her money!"
Whilst Nicholas Frome (Kim Peacock) plans to releave Carol Cheyne (Lucille Lisle) of her inheritance, Explorer Sir Clive Cheyne (James Carew) plans on spending a night alone in Madame Tussauds Chamber of Horrors for a bet.
Dated melodrama, with very stagey acting.

the ace of spades (1935)


"Why did you mention the ace of spades?"
Politician Nick Trent (Michael Hogan) is implicated in the death of an opponent, when the man is a victim of a hit and run accident. The real perpetrator wrestles with his conscience, will his actions come back to haunt him?
The words Run of the mill were created for such product as this...a potentially fine situation is sophorifically played out on the screen.
