Movies in the 1930s: Murder on the High Seas Mystery

The title says it all: Murder on the High Seas is a dark, stormy, deception-drenched thriller. A story of secret lovers, money and greed is only the setup for this tantalizing mystery. Natalie Moorhead is a society lady with a dark side, who must flee from her ex-lover just getting out of the clink and who is also the son of the man she’s blackmailing. Beset by dangers, she decides to take a boat voyage for safety. Anything but safe, the situation aboard the sea vessel quickly turns murderous and everyone is a suspect. Well shot and well produced, Murder on the High Seas is sure to turn every viewer into Sherlock Holmes, as the killer (and method of killing) is ferreted out.
