Grand Central Murder
Screamingly funny! Screamingly thrilling!
Directed by S. Sylvan Simon
Produced by Loew's Incorporated, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer
A breezy 1940s whodunit that balances murder-mystery plotting with comedic banter and bumbling characters, prioritizing entertainment and wisecracks over genuine darkness or depth.
Conniving Broadway starlet Mida King has plenty of enemies, so when she's found murdered at Grand Central Station, Inspector Gunther calls together a slew of suspects for questioning. Mida's shady ex-flame, Turk, seems the most likely culprit, but when smart-mouthed private eye Rocky Custer -- also a suspect himself -- begins to piece together the crime, a few clues that Gunther has overlooked come to light.
