The Thirteenth Chair Double Feature (1929 / 1937)

When a disreputable British aristocrat is discovered murdered in Bombay, his closest friend connives with a Scotland Yard detective to flush out the killer from the suspect pool--via a seance conducted by a palpably phony medium. Both M-G-M screen takes on the Bayard Veiller Broadway thriller--the 1929 version featuring Bela Lugosi, Margaret Wycherly, Conrad Nagel, Leila Hyams, and John Davidson, and the 1937 version with Lewis Stone, Dame May Whitty, Henry Daniell, Madge Evans, and Elissa Landi--are collected here. 138 min. total.
