Mysterious Mr. Moto (Twentieth Century Fox, 1938)

Mr. Moto goes undercover as a killer on Devil’s Island and helps another man to escape in order to get a line on an international gang of assassins, and he takes action when a Czechoslovakian industrialist is targeted. One character’s suspicions seem a bit overdone, but otherwise the gang’s activities are well portrayed, as are Mr. Moto’s schemes to counter the crooks’ plotting. The climax in an art gallery is particularly good.

  Recommended. Otto finds this one pleasing enough to relax.

Movie 133 for 2021.
