Poster for the movie The Intruder

The Intruder (Allied, 1933)

A murder takes place aboard a vessel shortly before it is wrecked in a storm, and when the few survivors make it to a nearby island, it soon becomes clear that the killer is among them. Ample oddness follows as the survivors get into various scrapes, and the viewer is soon introduced to a wild man (Mischa Auer) and his strange companion, Mary, as well. The mystery is no great shakes, but the performances and the weirdness of the story make the low-budget effort of some interest.

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

Movie 196 for 2021.
