The Missing Corpse (1945) DVD [Remastered Edition]
Price 14.95 USD
"This hilarious comedy is gift-wrapped as a suspense thriller. The plot unfolds so quickly that you seldom have the time to stop laughing and start guessing. It (the plot) is unique in that it does not focus on whodunit - we know that from the start - but on the humorous attempts of a man to hide the corpse. Director Albert Herman’s superb direction coupled with well-placed humor ensures that the pace does not slacken till the end. Some lively performances by Mike the driver and Jimmy Trig the cop deserve mention. The ingenuity of the storywriter becomes evident as the plot unfolds, with the corpse appearing at the most unexpected places. What makes the plot funnier and more thrilling is the fact that the characters see the corpse hidden in their closets and under their beds quite clearly, thus convincing you that the suspense has ended, but a little later you end up just as mystified as the character when the corpse disappears in a flash! This is a highly recommended movie for all those who love humor and mystery. It is sure to have you in splits when you are not wondering about what’s in store for you next!"
