1934's "House of Danger" was an independent production from the short-lived Peerless Pictures Corporation (8 titles overall, from 1931-36), toplining Universal contractee Onslow Stevens in the central role of Don Phillips, who impersonates his friend Ralph Nelson (James Bush) so as to uncover the truth behind the murder of Ralph's father. While the plot doesn't really stand up, Stevens is well cast, carrying the film with ease, with lovely Janet Chandler displaying her feminine form in a gorgeous one-piece bathing suit. At Universal, Stevens had done "Secret of the Blue Room," "Bombay Mail," "The Crosby Case," "Life Returns," and (especially) "House of Dracula"; for others, there were "The Monster and the Girl," "The Creeper," "Mark of the Gorilla," "The Couch" (his last film, from 1962), and the 1954 classic "Them!" Director Charles Hutchison was a veteran actor going back 20 years, turning increasingly to directing as the silent era wound down (as director, his final credit came in 1938, as an actor, 1944; he died in 1949).
