Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaBoris Karloff was originally hired to play John F. Black, but it soon became clear that his severe arthritis would not permit him to undertake such a strenuous role. As such Karloff was switched to the part of Mr. Hinchley and Basil Rathbone was brought in to play Black.
- GoofsWhen Mr. Black swings his sword at the three red candles, it is obvious that the candles have been previously cut and stuck back together - they aren't even straight.
- Quotes
Felix Gillie: And what if I tell them the truth and say it was all your idea in the first place?
Trumbull: Mr. Gillie... Felix... friend... I put it to you, who in your discerning estimation are the police most likely to believe, hm? Mr. W. Trumble, respected local citizen and entrepreneur of death, or Mr. Felix Gillie... wanted fugitive and confessed bank robber?
Felix Gillie: I never confessed!
[pause, then]
Felix Gillie: They just proved it.
