- Quotes
Nurse Sarah Keate: Well, this gets more and more like a fairy story - Cinderella's slipper found by her Prince Charming, except you weren't built for the part.
Detective Lt. Lance O'Leary: Well, I may not be a prince - just a detective.
Nurse Sarah Keate: You still overestimate yourself.
- ConnectionsFollowed by The Murder of Dr. Harrigan (1935)
A group of relatives (all played by well-known character actors) gathers in an old house (on a rainy nite, of course!) to speak to a wealthy relative, who goes into a coma.
While they wait for him to recover, all sorts of mysterious goings-on happen, including a couple of murders.
A creepy film; worth seeing!
