The Kennel Murder Case (28-Oct-1933)

Director: Michael Curtiz

Writers: Robert N. Lee; Peter Milne; Robert Presnell

From novel: The Return of Philo Vance by S. S. Van Dine

Keywords: Mystery, Dog

Soon after the Long Island Kennel Club's dog show, the apparent routine suicide of Archer Coe, noted collector of porcelain, within a locked room prompts detective Philo Vance to cancel his trip overseas and look into matters. Snappy dialogue, many plausible and unpleasant suspects, and surprising twists make this one of the better Vance mysteries.
