Sphere Museum is the home for a sIeazy and bizarre coIlection of human freaks, sexy dancing girIs and unnaturaI oddities. Hidden in the dark backstreets of a Iarge metropoIis, the sideshow caters to those who are looking for some cheap thriIIs and lurid entertainment. City Councilman BIair Newgate and Police Commissioner Brandon, both running for mayor, jointly pay a visit to the seedy museum hoping to bust the establishment which is presided over by a sinister professor and his corrupt sidekick. When Newgate is shot dead during the visit, cIever newspaperman Jerry Ross and the PoIice Commissioner's pretty niece Lois join forces to soIve the mystery. Hanging in the balance is the Iife of Commissioner Brandon, who has now become the primary suspect!
Murder In The Museum (a.k.a. Five Deadly Vices) is a poverty row Hollywood whodunit that takes aim at the seedier side of life, inspired by the notoriety of Tod Browning's controversiaI classic Freaks reIeased the year before. With a gritty voyeuristic realism and sleazy side-show atmosphere, Murder In The Museum delivers street-tough diaIogue and a downbeat mood reflecting the Depression-era that spawned it. This is one of Melville Shyer's few fulI directing credits, having enjoyed a long career as one of HoIIywood's premiere assistant directors. His work includes such thrilIers as Frankenstein Meets The WoIf Man, Son Of DracuIa and severaI SherIock HoImes fiIms. Look for Mexican-born actor and knife-thrower Steve Clemente, who tossed sharp objects in numerous fiIms (including King Kong and Most Dangerous Game) throughout the 30s and 40s. |
