Premiere [1938] [DVD]

Also known as "One Night in Paris" (USA). During the 1940s films like these were a staple.In fact this film resembles the rather better known "Murder At The Vanities" from Paramount. We have a large number of suspects with all sorts of motives and opportunity for murdering the victim.In the meantime the show progresses. It is a musical. The numbers all resemble numbers directed by Busby Berkeley at Warner's, only on a slightly smaller scale.The dances although imitative are nevertheless quite good. The murderer is revealed in the final minute of running time and of course is the person you would be least likely to chose.
