A Slight Case of Murder
Directed by Lloyd Bacon
Produced by Warner Bros. Pictures
A lighthearted gangster comedy that mines humor from the absurdity of a reformed bootlegger trying to go legitimate while surrounded by corpses and creditors.
Former bootlegger Remy Marco has a slight problem with foreclosing bankers, a prospective son-in-law, and four hard-to-explain corpses.
