Curiosidades
The screen rights for the original 1926 source novel, the first in the Philo Vance series, was purchased by Paramount from author S.S. Van Dine for $17,500.

Pifias
The tear-off wall calendar seen through the door to a side room in Markham's office at several points in the movie shows a large number 19. However, the story takes place between the stock market crash of 24 October 1929 and Election Day on Tuesday 5 November, so there was no 19th of the month in between. Also, the same page of the calendar is seen unchanged on several different days.

Citas
Philo Vance: The only infallible method of determining human guilt, is by analyzing the psychological factors of the crime, and then applying them to the individual

"Slowly but surely..."

The third Philo Vance movie starring William Powell. It's adapted from the first Vance novel, itself based on the real life "locked room" murder of famous bridge player Joseph Bowne Elwell. The mystery here has a neat resolution. Powell is always aces and he has fun support from Eugene Pallette. Paul Lukas gives a nervous turn that gets a little grating. Lukas would later play Vance himself. The only real downsides are the usual complaint about early talkies, namely the pacing and that they have a lot of stiff joints. I'm an avid fan of classic films so it doesn't bother me much. But your mileage may vary.
