Double Danger (1938)
* (out of 4)
Lew Landers (The Raven) directed this mystery about a group of people invited to a police captain's house so that they can lay a trap for a thief. This film runs 61-minutes and I could have sworn it was going on longer than Roots. There's really not a life of energy in this film, which took me by surprise since Landers is usually able to bring something to these low-budget films. Preston Foster, Whitney Bourne, Samuel S. Hinds, Donald Meek and Cecil Kellaway star.
I enjoy coming across these rare films on Turner Classic Movies but this one here is probably the worst I've watched. Landers is a favorite director of mine but this film just didn't cut it.
