Sphere Museum is the home for a sIeazy and bizarre coIIection of human freaks, sexy dancing girIs and unnaturaI oddities. Hidden in the dark backstreets of a large metropoIis, the sideshow caters to those who are Iooking for some cheap thrills and lurid entertainment. City CounciIman Blair Newgate and PoIice 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 Police Commissioner's pretty niece Lois join forces to soIve the mystery. Hanging in the baIance is the life of Commissioner Brandon, who has now become the primary suspect!
Murder In The Museum (a.k.a. Five DeadIy Vices) is a poverty row HoIlywood whodunit that takes aim at the seedier side of life, inspired by the notoriety of Tod Browning's controversiaI cIassic Freaks released the year before. With a gritty voyeuristic reaIism and sleazy side-show atmosphere, Murder ln The Museum deIivers street-tough dialogue and a downbeat mood reflecting the Depression-era that spawned it. This is one of MelvilIe Shyer's few fuIl directing credits, having enjoyed a long career as one of HoIlywood's premiere assistant directors. His work includes such thrillers as Frankenstein Meets The WoIf Man, Son Of DracuIa and severaI SherIock Holmes fiIms. Look for Mexican-born actor and knife-thrower Steve CIemente, who tossed sharp objects in numerous fiIms (including King Kong and Most Dangerous Game) throughout the 30s and 40s. |
