कैनरी हत्या के मामले में लुईस ब्रूक्स (1929)

कैनरी मर्डर केस (1929) मूल रूप से एक मूक फिल्म के रूप में गोली मार दी थी. तथापि, पैरामाउंट स्टूडियो कार्यकारी यह एक बात कर चित्र के रूप में बेहतर होगा सोचा. वे इस फिल्म के लिए ध्वनि जोड़ सकता है जब तक स्टूडियो रिलीज में देरी. ध्वनि के अलावा इसकी चुनौतियों के बिना नहीं था.

दुर्भाग्य, फिल्म के मुख्य सितारों में से एक, Louise Brooks, had gone to work in Germany. She would soon become an international star for her work in Pandora’s Box (1929). She left Paramount acrimoniously and refused to return to the United States.

The original director Malcom St. Clair also was angry with Paramount over their treatment of Louise Brooks. Paramount reassigned Frank Tuttle, who had already made a few sound films, to finish the film as a talking picture. Tuttle used Margaret Livingston to dub the lines for the Canary, Margaret O’Dell, played by Louise Brooks. Livingston spoke in a strongly affected Brooklyn accent.

कैनरी चारों ओर फिल्म घूमता की वास्तविक साजिश, a nightclub singer, who is blackmailing several male members of New York society. The men have been indiscrete while under the spell of the Canary. The Canary decides to cash in and marry Jimmy Spotwood, the son of a wealthy banker.

Charles Spotwood asks Philo Vance, played by William Powell, for assistance. Vance played warns Mr. Spotwood to make arrangements with the Canary quickly. He believes she is headed for trouble. Philo Vance is right as usual.

The Canary is found murdered. Besides the society men, her ex-husband had also broken out of jail and was threatening her. Philo Vance is drawn into the case by his friend District Attorney Markham.

One of the interesting aspects of the film occurs when Sgt. Heath greets Philo Vance and District Attorney Markham. Heath congratulates Vance for successfully solving the Greene Murder Case. While S.S. Van Dine wrote the Greene Murder Case before the Canary Murder Case, Paramount released ग्रीन मर्डर केस seven months after कैनरी मर्डर केस.

Louise Brooks would seem to be perfectly cast as the Canary. While she was not a blackmailer, Louise Brooks along with Clara Bow were considered the quintessential 1920s flappers. Fiercely independent, Louise Brooks would make only 24 films before becoming one of the most reclusive former movie stars at only 32 उम्र का साल.

Louise Brooks was born Mary Louise Brooks on November 14, 1906 in Cherryvale, Kansas. She was a dancer from a very early age, which is how she left Kansas for New York. She began making films in 1925 पर 19 उम्र का साल. She was a good friend of W.C. Fields and played his daughter in It’s the Old Army Game (1926). तथापि, she will always be remembered for playing Lulu in Pandora’s Box (1929).

When she returned to the United States, she made a couple westerns with a young John Wayne before retiring completely. She spent the rest of her life as a reclusive artist living primarily in New York City. She passed away on August 8, 1985 पर 78 उम्र का साल.

यह फिल्म लगभग चलाता 82 minutes and is a feature film. For an early talkie, the film moves with considerable continuity. मुझे आप फिल्म की क्या सोचते हैं.
