PANTHER'S CLAW 1942 (FILM DETECTIVE)

I found this to be a fun little film from PRC.

William Beaudine directed this thriller starring Sidney Blackmer as Thatcher Colt, a police commiissioner who is called in on a case involving opera company employees who are being killed one by one.

His main suspect is Everett Digberry ( Byron Foulger) who always seems to be where the dead bodies are. It's a great part for a great character actor I have seen in hundreds of films and TV shows.

The film is fast moving and the killer isn't revealed until the very end, and it might suprise you as to who the Black Panther killer really is.

The rest of the cast includes Herbert Rawlinson, Rick Vallin, Lynn Starr, Barry Bernard and Gerta Rozan.

As I said this is a fun film. It's well made, fast moving and has a great cast. Byron Foulger should have had more starring roles as he is very good and can indeed carry a film.

The DVD brings us the best version of this movie I have ever seen.
