Afraid to Talk (1932)

Corrupt politicians resort to murder and blackmail when a young boy accidentally witnesses them taking payoffs.

Lively, fast-paced drama that relentlessly decries political corruption, a message still valid to this day.

Maltin***: "Eye-opening pre-Code melodrama...Sparks fly in this unsubtle shocker..."

The Cat and the Canary (1927)

Relatives of an eccentric millionaire gather in his spooky mansion on the 20th anniversary of his death for the reading of his will.
