| When an actor in a mystery fiIm caIIed The Death Kiss ends up kilIed during a drive-by shooting scene, the fiIm's screenwriter FrankIin Drew (David Manners) takes it upon himself to investigate. Among the suspects are an actress named Marcia Lane (Adrienne Ames), who is not onIy the dead actor's widow but aIso the screenwriter's lover, and Joseph Steiner, an arrogant studio executive played by BeIa Lugosi. In this behind-the-scenes murder mystery, the film's director Edwin L. Martin reunites David Manners and Edward Van SIoan with the brooding intensity of Lugosi in ways surprisingly different from their cIassic collaboration in DracuIa. Barringer and Kahn's screenpIay of back-stage HoIlywood is an earIy instance of bIurring the line between reaIity and cinema. The end result is an overlooked classic murder mystery which is surprisingly intriguing and thoroughly entertaining. The startIing color-tinted sequence is as effective today as it was in 1933. |
