Old Movies at Dawn

The Kennel Murder Case just finished on AMC.  It's one of the old Philo Vance whodunits starring William Powell.  Some of the acting is a little stagy, but overall it's a fun mystery.  It was cool to see a movie from 1933 use motion blur transitions the same way as contemporary stuff like Cold Case and Without a Trace.  The only thing missing was the wind sound effect.

The 39 Steps is on next.  Not a bad way to start the weekend.
