FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

mark.waltz It was on a dark stormy night when a wealthy man and his second wife played witness to the bearing of a body. The interruption of his daughter with the news that she has just married brings more problems to her family. Along comes Lloyd Nolan as her old pal, Detective Michael Shayne, who pretends to be her husband, and of course, he finds himself become involves with the mystery surrounding the disappearance of the corpse.A delightfully fast moving mystery with both supernatural and comic elements, this is one of the better B mysteries of the golden age of B movies. Nolan gets lots of opportunity to display his knack for street smarts and wisecracks. Paul Harvey is also very good as the wealthy political bigwig with scandal breathing down his neck as well as an obvious opportunistic wife and incorrigible daughter who has given him nothing but trouble. There's also a dumb private detective who needs some education from Shayne as to how to handle such complicated cases. This is truly enjoyable with a great conclusion that isn't quite a surprise but handled quite nicely.

blanche-2 Lloyd Nolan is Michael Shayne, private detective in "The Man Who Wouldn't Die," a 1942 entry into this short series from Twentieth Century Fox.A friend of Mike's, Catherine (Marjorie Weaver) gets him to pose as her husband while investigating a shooting at her family home. Her father (Paul Harvey) is in government and under investigation by the Senate, and one night, Anna is shot at. Mike finds plenty to investigate. He also has plenty to explain when Catherine's real husband shows up unexpectedly.There's lots of humor and "dark stormy night" atmosphere in this neat programmer, which also features Henry Wilcoxon and Helen Reynolds as Anna, Catherine's stepmother.Nolan is a delight as a singing, happy but very clever Shayne. I'm surprised that Marjorie Weaver didn't get further in her career, though by all accounts, she loved the career she had - she's very pretty and vivacious.Very enjoyable.

reve-2 Any movie from the Michael Shayne Detective series can be counted on to deliver an enjoyable mystery story. In this film Lloyd Nolan once again delivers a good performance as he works to solve a murder which took place at the estate of a wealthy US Senator. Everything wraps-up neatly in about 65 minutes which means that there is no wasted time with boring sub plots or long talky scenes ala todays' crop of over hyped and over long releases. A good supporting cast helps Nolan turn this into a fine stylish film. Olin Howlin does a great job and provides just the right amount of restrained comic relief as the police chief. Enjoy

Norm-30 This mystery has everything: dead bodies that won't stay buried, a weird laboratory, an old house during a thunderstorm, and a "phantom" (with "glowing" eyes) that appears in the house and attempts to kill someone!The hero & heroine add both a comedic and suspenseful touch to the entire proceedings. This film is difficult to find, but I highly recommend it!
