Title screen for the movie The Pointing Finger

The Pointing Finger (1933)

This plodding “thriller” has an indebted cousin plotting the demise of the rightful heir to the family title and fortune, to be engineered via an accident in Africa, but his plans appear destined for failure when, despite assurances from the man hired to do the deed, the heir shows up at home, healthy enough but lacking memory thanks to a bout of fever. There’s not much to recommend this movie, save an OK character arc for one crook, and the viewer will be glad of the short running time.

  Not recommended. Otto thinks you should avoid this movie.

Movie 56 for 2021.
