And another mansion mystery, although gorilla free and really quite good. An old millionaire invites his prospective heirs into his old dark house to inform them, that he'll give each one of them an equal part of his fortune, unless his estranged granddaughter arrives until midnight. Two women claiming to be the heiress arrive, and soon one of them is murdered. With a house full of suspects and the usual comedic cops, the millionaire himself must solve the case.
One Frightened Night takes one or two interesting deviations from the usual direction of this kind of mystery fare, which -added to snappy dialogue and a breezy pace- is more than I expect from movies of the type. I even found myself laughing a few times. Of course not about the (fortunately tolerable) buffoonish comedic relief, but about some really clever lines, most of them delivered by our unusual hero.
