Review of Murder with Pictures

Little surprise and lots of characters, red herrings and twists that the result ends up being extremely convoluted. It all involves a photographer (Lew Ayres) and a mystery woman (Gail Patrick), a murder that occurred just as other newspaper photographers snapped a photo and the ensuing confusion that results. So many characters pop in and out during this film's extremely short running time, some of them seemingly suspicious, yet ultimately not even involved. Ms. Patrick is made to look guilty when she gives Ayres a knock-out drug, but the writers instantly turn that around too by having her knocked out. By the time the culprit is revealed, you've been thrown all over the place that you're just grateful it's over.
