Tuesday, Jan. 10 - Thunder in the Night

Thunder in the Night (1935)

Count Peter Alvinczy (Paul Cavanaugh) has just been appointed to an important post, and normally this would make his wife, Madalaine (Karen Morley) happy. Unfortunately, Madalaine's dead husband (wait a minute... first husband, that is - ex-husband) is not a suicide, as has been believed for several years, after all. He is alive and blackmailing her, threatening her with the scandal of being a bigamist, which would be especially bad considering her husband's high social position. Meanwhile, Maddy's first husband is simultaneously packing and doing a vanishing act on his current vaudeville partner on both the business and romantic fronts. There are several other people who have reasons to dislike this guy, and is it any wonder he winds up dead? And whoafteralldunnit?
