I hope the other comments about "The Witness Vanishes" being the weakest of the "Crime Club" films are accurate: it's the only one I have watched, so if the above is the case, the only way is up! It's an extremely slow-moving mystery, with Wendy Barrie trying to carry it but not getting much support from Edmund Lowe, who doesn't seem very engaged to the proceedings, or the bland Bruce Lester. There are a couple of eerie touches (each murder victim receives a written obituary announcing his murder before it happens, and the exact time it will happen), and the unusual piece of trivia that the action is set in England (not that you'll see any of it), but you'll forget you even saw this film a few hours later. *1/2 out of 4.
