I kove A Mystery was the first of tree films that Columbia Pictures did based on
the radio detective series of the same name. Stars Jim Bannon and Barton
Yarborough came overfrom radio to do their roles as a pair of San Francisco
based private eyes. Harry Cohn reasoned correctly the radio listeners were a built
in audience to fill movie seats. And I'm sure listeners were grateful to have the opportunity to put faces to voices.
George MacReady plays a millionaire playboy trying to find out who's been haunting him with a prophecy about decapitating him to replace the head on the body of a long dead eastern cult leader. Among other things prophesied were a paralyzing illness now affecting MacReady's wife Nina Foch.
Of course it's carefully planned scheme, but tables do get turned and that's all I have to say.
It's a really silly plot, but with players like MacReady and Foch thy make it interesting.
