The Ninth Guest

Predating Agatha Christie’s "Ten Little Indians" by nearly a decade, Bruce Manning and Gwen Bristow’s novel "The Invisible Host" was the basis for this pre-Code mystery about eight practical strangers invited to a posh Manhattan penthouse. Once there, a voice over the radio informs them that each is an old enemy of the unseen host and will meet tonight’s "ninth guest": Death! Stars Donald Cook, Genevieve Tobin, Hardie Albright, and Edward Ellis. 65 min. Standard Soundtrack: English.
