西班牙海角之谜 (1935) 改编自埃勒里·奎因 (Ellery Queen) 的一部小说. 两个堂兄弟, 弗雷德里克Dannay和曼弗雷德·李, 谁标题字符的笔名写了一些侦探小说. 在这部影片, 埃勒里·奎因正在度假的加州与他的朋友麦克林法官.

当然, they are not long into their vacation, when they find a young girl tied up in their cabin. She is the wealthy neighbor’s daughter. After taking her home, they discover a murder occurred at the estate. When the daughter becomes the main suspect, Ellery Queen decides to help solve the mystery. His infatuation with the Stella Godfrey, played by Helen Twelvetrees, is his main motivation.

Donald Cook, who played Ellery Queen in this film, was born on September 26, 1901. He was educated at the University of Oregon before beginning a stage acting career. He starred in a number of Broadway productions. He started working in films in the early 1930s. He played Mike Powers, the older brother of James Cagney’s Tom Powers, in The Public Enemy (1931).

While he did starring roles initially, he took supporting roles through most of the rest of his careers. 有趣的是, he married a princess in 1937. They would remain married until his death from a heart attack on October 1, 1961 在年龄 60.

这部电影大约运行 75 分钟. It is both a comedy and mystery. I found it to be very entertaining. Let me know what you think of it.
