The Hidden Hand: Quirky little tale

The Hidden Hand is such an odd little movie, it only stands at around an hour and deals with serious subjects. Yet at the same time it's rife with comedy leaving the whole movie feeling muddled yet oddly entertaining.

It tells the story of a crazed killer who returns home and becomes embroiled in a plot to put a womans greedy siblings through their paces as they all want her dead to claim the inheritance.

Though many of the characters aren't great we do have some who stand out and steal the entire movie. Ontop of that it looks amazing for it's time and delivers both chills and genuine belly laughs.

It's hard to categorize The Hidden Hand due to it's extremes in content but I can't take away from it's quality.

Fun, gripping and fascinating.

The Good:

Milton Parsons & Willie Best

Fantastic story

Great execution

Looks amazing for 1942

The Bad:

Tad short

Weirdly constructed

Things I Learnt From This Movie:

The Hidden Hand is what would happen if Edgar Alan Poe made a movie with Disney!
