Not long ago I reviewed the Philo Vance novel The Gracie Allen Murder Case, which reminded me of the only Vance movie I had seen, The Kennel Murder Case. So I figured it was time to see it again, and discovered that the whole dang thing can be viewed online. I had forgotten it was directed by Michael Curtiz, who later did such great films as Captain Blood and Casablanca. This is it:

Wow, thanks! :D
Just watched this one. Had it in my DVR queue for a while now.
By far the best of the mostly lousy Philo Vance movies, though I find Powell's habit of wearing gloves indoors very distracting. They changed the sex of the scottie - female in the book, male in the movie. Presumably to avoid the term "bitch".

Most especially LOVE the film poster. Gorgeous.
I, too, LOVE movie posters from the 30s. That was the Golden Age.
Absolutely a beautiful poster. Would love to have it on my wall.
I'll watch Powell in just about any movie. I wish we had talent like that today.
Just watched that film, The Thin Mans my favorite film, Beautiful poster too, I'm a graphic artist so thats my professional opinion :)
