Seven Sinners (1936)



A wise cracking American P.I. traveling abroad with his love interest and sidekick, stumbles on to a dead body. After it disappears again, he starts to unravel a devious crime ring.

Sub-Hitchcock is lively, witty and some suspense, likable and entertaining.

Halliwell*: "Fascinatingly dated comedy suspenser with excellent sub-Hitchcock sequences, the whole thing having a strong flavour of The 39 Steps."

Maltin**: "Ersatz 39 STEPS...Lowe, Cummings, and de Courville can't compare to Donat, Carroll, and Hitchcock, but at least there's one good full-size locomotive crash..."
