Philo Vance the Benson Murder Case part 2 of 2
A ruthless, crooked stockbroker is murdered at his luxurious country estate, and detective Philo Vance just happens to be there; he decides to find out who killed him. Reviewed in the NY Times in 1930 as "It is a moderately entertaining affair, despite the fact that several of the players appear to be somewhat conscious of the microphone as they speak their lines. The manner in which the murderer gets rid of Anthony Benson, however, is by no means without its surprises. "
