Shadows on the Stairs

Dirty deeds are underway at a boarding house in London: a rash of brutal murders has occurred there, and everyone is a suspect, including shady owners Mr. and Mrs. Armitage (Miles Mander and Frieda Inescort); their daughter Sylvia (Heather Angel); their inept, alcohol-indulgent maid Lucy (Phyllis Barry); an eccentric old maid; an Indian nationalist (Turhan Bey); and a struggling playwright named Hugh Bromilow (Bruce Lester) who attempts to deduce the killer's identity. Though everyone's a suspect, the real killer will come as a shock in a surprise twist ending reminiscent of Alfred Hitchcock and Rod Serling. (Echo Bridge Entertainment)
