Number 17 (1932)

I Like This One - A Lot


Leave it up to me to enjoy a quirky film like this. It's not perfect but it is certainly entertaining. I like this film - a lot. I've seen this film a few years back, forgot about it and finally ran across it in a film pack - very glad they added this one, it's good to see it again.

The film is mainly in a "spooky old house" setting with wailing winds, great shadows, strange characters, a murder(?), a stolen necklace, a great chase, humor splashed about and a story that is simple but good. This is not an Alfred Hitchcock masterpiece but it's a fun one.

Try to watch this film without taking it seriously - remember it's entertainment and artful in it's way (the cinematography and directing.)

9/10

Number 17 (1932)
