The Man Who Changed His Name

A garrulous, studio-bound sound remake of a 1928 Edgar Wallace potboiler with the cast throughout gathered together in little groups mugging furiously to the camera choppily cut together.

Despite musical director W.L.Trytel's name on the credits there is an almost funereal hush in the background throughout the proceedings until the thunderstorm shortly before the finale.

The fabulous wet-look thirties cocktail dress - even photographed in black & white obviously originally a bright colour - in which Betty Stockfield appears shortly before the halfway mark is sadly straight away returned to it's closet, never to be seen again.
