★★★★ · I can see your house from here · revdaddy · 2012-10-13
What a good little movie. Good looking detective, pretty and brash female reporter. There is a murder. It moves pretty well along and was just a good movie, not great, just good.
★★★★ · Another pleasant evening · larry76 · 2012-10-14
Another good 1935 movie. These are not the greatest, but are very entertaining. I'm almost sure that the location was the Griffith Park Observatory. I hope I can find more of these, love the old movies.

“It was the first feature film broadcast on U.S. commercial television, on July 2, 1941, during the first week of official commercial broadcasts on NBC's New York television station WNBT-TV.” ~Wikipedia I agree with the reviewers below.
