Half-sheet poster for the movie The Invisible Killer

The Invisible Killer (PDC, 1939)

Fairly ordinary mystery, with a reporter (Grace Bradley) and a homicide detective (Roland Drew) sparring, while enamored of each other, in the course of investigating killings connected with a gambling racket. The writing is OK, including not only the bantering leads but also a DA whose amour is somehow embroiled with the gambling ring, but the killer’s gimmick is among the more far-fetched approaches to murder. An OK time-waster, but nothing more.

  Mildly recommended at best. Otto judiciously thinks this movie is OK, but not great.

Movie 42 for 2021.
