Blooper
When the maid screams after seeing rats, a male's moaning sound can be heard immediately after. But the moaning sound didn't come from any of the actors, so it apparently was an off-screen voice from a crew member.

Citazioni
Lance O'Leary: All right, Bruker, what's your story?
Bruker: [looks at Sarah Keate, hesitates]
Lance O'Leary: That's all right, you can talk in front of Miss Keate. Nurses hear a lot of things they shouldn't.

Another Locked Room Dilemma

All things considered Mystery House is not a bad product coming out of Warner Brothers B picture unit. It's another one of those classic shootings in a locked room, where the verdict can be nothing else, but suicide. Or can it?

The members of the board of directors of a company are gathered on a retreat where the president confronts them with his suspicion that one of them is guilty of embezzlement. He's found shot to death in a locked room, but the man's daughter can't believe it wasn't *** so she hires a private detective and invites the whole lot of them back to the retreat where the crime occurred.

Two murders later and we have an answer. No hints at all as to who and how, but I will say the weapon is in plain sight.

Ann Sheridan and Dick Purcell are our leads and television fans will spot a future detective in William Hopper who played Paul Drake on the Perry Mason series.

Back in 1938 when it ran as the second feature of a double bill, I don't think too many people left their seats.
