Now watching...

SHADOWS ON THE STAIRS (Warner Brothers, 1941)

An American thriller / murder mystery film with a (mostly) British cast that was set in London. Started watching this and realised I'd already seen it 4 or5 years ago but couldn't remember much about the plot. For a film melodrama that was clearly based on a stage play (much running in and out of rooms, up and down stairs, etc, like a murderous Brian Rix farce) this is a surprisingly enjoyable and engrossing film. There are far worse ways of spending wet November tea-times!
