Murder by Television
Murder by Television ★½ The Houghland Murder Case 1935
Low-budget murder mystery with Lugosi in a dual role as twins—one good, one not so. When a professor and the evil twin are murdered, the instrument of death suspected is…television. Still an exotic and misunderstood invention when this was made, TV sometimes invoked fear and suspicion in the general public. Historically interesting and Lugosi fans will appreciate seeing him in a non-vampiric role. 55m/B VHS, DVD . Bela Lugosi, George Meeker; D: Clifford Sanforth.
