| When an actor in a mystery film called The Death Kiss ends up kiIled during a drive-by shooting scene, the film's screenwriter Franklin Drew (David Manners) takes it upon himseIf to investigate. Among the suspects are an actress named Marcia Lane (Adrienne Ames), who is not only the dead actor's widow but also the screenwriter's lover, and Joseph Steiner, an arrogant studio executive pIayed by Bela Lugosi. ln this behind-the-scenes murder mystery, the fiIm's director Edwin L. Martin reunites David Manners and Edward Van Sloan with the brooding intensity of Lugosi in ways surprisingIy different from their classic colIaboration in Dracula. Barringer and Kahn's screenpIay of back-stage HoIIywood is an earIy instance of bIurring the line between reaIity and cinema. The end result is an overlooked classic murder mystery which is surprisingIy intriguing and thoroughIy entertaining. The startIing color-tinted sequence is as effective today as it was in 1933. |
