I've seen a bunch of these years ago, but not many recently. I believe one or two were on TCM within the last year. I'm curious are they being cablecast or are they in a collection?
Regarding The Unseen:I've heard some mystery lovers compare this movie to The Uninvited. Personally, I don't see any connection between the two movies (except for the leading lady).
Same director as well of course, and they both have the initials T U, but that's it really, The Uninvited is a completely different film.
These next couple of days, I'll be watching several 1930s mysteries based on Mignon Eberhart mystery novels. Some of Eberhart's stories feature Nurse Sarah Keate (sometimes renamed as Sally Keating in the films), along with detective Lance O'Leary.The films are generally set in isolated locations (either a house or hotel), and they contain at least one of the following: secret passages, secret rooms, bizarre characters, blackmailers, wills, family matriarchs/patriarchs, etc. The only thing missing from all the films is the portrait with the moving eyes.The ones I'll be watching are:The White CockatooWhile the Patient SleptMystery HouseMurder by an AristocratI've seen each of these a number of times.
I'm done with the Mignon Eberhart adaptations, and now it's time for some Philo Vance mysteries.There are really just three which appeal to me, so I'll watch those:The Greene Murder Case, The Dragon Murder Case, The Kennel Murder Case.I'm also okay with the first part of The Canary Murder Case, but the story really goes downhill quickly and I remember having NO trouble figuring out whodunit.Any other fans here?
