| Movie ChambersPaul ChambersStars a pre-Sherlock Holmes Basil Rathbone as Philo Vance. Overly melodramatic murder yarn with the cast throwing their voices like it was a stage production. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzOn the same level as Charlie Chan; pick your poison. |
| User ReviewNate TStilted movie but a good mystery with Rathbone in an early, pre-Sherlock Holmes, role as Vance. |
| User ReviewAshley HThe Bishop Murder Case is an excellent film. It is about a detective who has to solve a series of murders. Basil Rathbone and Leila Hyams give excellent performances. The script is well written and full of suspense. David Burton and Nick Grinde did great jobs directing this movie. I enjoyed this motion picture because of the mystery. The Bishop Murder Case is a must see. |
