Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaOne of over 200 titles in the list of independent feature films made available for television presentation by Advance Television Pictures announced in "Motion Picture Herald" 4/4/1942. At this time, television broadcasting was in its infancy, almost totally curtailed by the advent of World War II, and would not continue to develop until 1945-46. Because of poor documentation (feature films were often not identified by title in conventional sources) no record has yet been found of its initial television broadcast. Post-WWII viewers in Los Angeles got their first look at it 1/15/50 on KNBH (Channel 4).
Featured review
Riproaring Quota Quickie
The Crimson Circle strikes again! Another wealthy man has been ordered to pay a large sum, defied the order, and been struck down! All of London is terrified! Scotland Yard is helpless!
It's the third movie version of Edgar Wallace's 1922 thriller, with the viewpoint character shifting between Inspector Alfred Drayton (who finds himself unable to make any advance on the case), and Hugh Wakefield, a well connected young man who is in love with June Duprez. But she is arrested as an accomplice in one of the Crimson Circle's murders, and then easily escapes the pokey to join Wakefield. The Crimson Circle, she explains, has connections even in Scotland Yard!
Yoicks. The solution to the entire matter is melodramatic -- as you might expect -- and rather feather-weighted in offering decent clues for the audience to have a fair chance of solving this mystery and getting the young lovers together. But it is exciting. With Niall McGinniss and Noah Beery.
