With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Great for anyone who likes to solve it before the characters do and anyone who likes watching someone settle a score. It plays fair with the clues, so you can play along. Same wavelength as Sherlock Jr. or The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad!. A revenge story, so expect the pressure to build to a reckoning.
- The mood
- Light and funny, tense.
- The pace
- Quick and easy-going, at 1 hr 14 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- Made in 1935: an older pace and style.
- Not ideal if you just want to unwind.
An amateur sleuth suspects foul play when a fellow passenger on a seaplane suddenly dies. The third and final film with Edna May Oliver and James Gleason as the astute schoolteacher Hildegarde Withers and the New York Police Inspector Oscar Piper busy solving crimes.
