This was not a bad movie, nor was it particularly good. Boris Karloff plays the Chinese detective Wong in his own voice and with very few mannerisms that would indicate that he was anything other than a Brit. The acting is surprisingly good, considering the production value.
I was not only able to guess who done it, early on; but, I was also able to guess, unerringly, who was gonna have it done to him/her. And, I am NOT GOOD AT GUESSING. In the movie, The Secret Window, I had guessed that the ex-wife was doing it all.
If it is late at night and you want a movie to bring you back to those thrilling days of yesteryear, this one is okay; however, if you want good Karloff, try The Black Cat...
