As the pandemic continues, I continue my weekly push of a movie set in New York.
Tonight's offering: The Kennel Murder Case (1933)
Socialite Archer Coe is found dead of an apparent suicide. But detective Philo Vance is unconvinced and insists on investigating further.
Well, that Philo Vance sure is a clever one, isn't he? This is an interesting murder mystery, but the whole plot is convoluted, and at the end I was thinking of Scooby Doo. Admittedly, it would have been hard for anyone involved to have been taking clues from the Scoob, so I can't really hold that against it.
New Yorkiness Rating: 1 out of 4
Yeah, it's set in New York. At least most of it is. But there's nothing about it that really says New York. It may as well be Philadelphia or Boston or Chicago. Except for the American accents, it could be London.
