EDITOR’S NOTE: Murder In the Blue Room was on Chiller Theater on Saturday, October 23, 1976 at 1:00 a.m.
A remake of the 1933 movie of the same title, which was also a remake of a German film made in 1932 and which was also remade in 1938 as The Missing Guest, this film was directed by Leslie Goodwins and written by I. A. L. Diamond and Stanley Davis.
The original plan was for the Ritz Brothers to be the stars, but instead, The Three Jazzybelles (Grace McDonald, Betty Kean, June Preisser) were the leads.
Nan (Anne Gwynne) and her mother have opened their home to boarders, despite her father killing himself in the Blue Room twenty years ago. The Three Jazzybelles perform for the lodgers and one, Larry (Bill Williams), demands to stay in the Blue Room, only for the room to be empty and locked from the inside in the morning.
It’s pretty much the same story as the original, only with all singing and all dancing. So, if you want that with your mystery, you have that here.
You can watch this on YouTube.
