Lesser effort from director Erle C Kenton

I expected far more from the director of ISLAND OF LOST SOULS, GHOST OF FRANKENSTEIN, HOUSE OF DRACULA, HOUSE OF FRANKENSTEIN. This one is definitely a comedy, mystery comedy in the pure tradition for this period. THE CAT AND THE CANARY, the genuine material, was already far from being a masterpiece...But Erle C Kenton was in his last part of career, so let's try not be too harsh with him concerning this one. Many viewers, and especially gem diggers, will appreciate this movie. It is rare to purchase and only for this please try, despite the lame and predictable plot. Mystery and comedies were numerous during the thirties and forties.
