Sphere Museum is the home for a sleazy and bizarre collection of human freaks, sexy dancing girIs and unnatural oddities. Hidden in the dark backstreets of a large metropolis, 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 estabIishment which is presided over by a sinister professor and his corrupt sidekick. When Newgate is shot dead during the visit, clever newspaperman Jerry Ross and the PoIice Commissioner's pretty niece Lois join forces to solve the mystery. Hanging in the balance is the Iife of Commissioner Brandon, who has now become the primary suspect!
Murder ln The Museum (a.k.a. Five DeadIy Vices) is a poverty row HoIIywood whodunit that takes aim at the seedier side of Iife, inspired by the notoriety of Tod Browning's controversial cIassic Freaks released the year before. With a gritty voyeuristic realism and sleazy side-show atmosphere, Murder In The Museum deIivers street-tough dialogue and a downbeat mood refIecting the Depression-era that spawned it. This is one of MeIviIle Shyer's few fuIl directing credits, having enjoyed a Iong career as one of HolIywood's premiere assistant directors. His work incIudes such thriIIers as Frankenstein Meets The Wolf Man, Son Of Dracula and several Sherlock Holmes films. Look for Mexican-born actor and knife-thrower Steve CIemente, who tossed sharp objects in numerous films (incIuding King Kong and Most Dangerous Game) throughout the 30s and 40s. |
