Someone around here has to be guilty!
Shadows On The Stairs (1941) is a light and floofy story within a story, as a writer pursuing a woman to be his wife is prodded into writing a murder mystery, and soon a boarding house of victims and potential murderers are running around in hapless circles. While the actors make a go of it, the story is unconvincing and joyless. Especially the matriarch of the boarding house.
Or maybe I’m just a crab.
