The Canary Murder Case
Who killed the most beautiful woman on Broadway?
Directed by Frank Tuttle, Malcolm St. Clair
Produced by Paramount Pictures, Paramount Famous Lasky Corporation
A classic whodunit centered on a murdered showgirl's blackmail schemes, where a clever detective must untangle duplicity and motive among a web of suspects.
A beautiful showgirl, name "the Canary" is a scheming nightclub singer. Blackmailing is her game and with that she ends up dead. But who killed "the Canary". All the suspects knew and were used by her and everyone had a motive to see her dead. The only witness to the crime has also been 'rubbed out'. Only one man, the keen, fascinating, debonair detective Philo Vance, would be able to figure out who is the killer.
