Double Feature
The Crime of the Century
He couldn’t stop himself from committing The Crime of the Century! A desperate man confesses to a murder and pleads for the police to lock him up. The only problem? The horrific crime hasn’t even happened yet. But when a body turns up, the cops and a clever reporter will have to put the pieces together. Jean Hersholt (for whom the Academy’s Humanitarian Award is named) and Wynn Gibson star in a playful pre-code hypnotist whodunnit. Playing the newspaperman, Stuart Erwin reteams with his Make Me a Star director William Beaudine. Plus, a 60-second, William Castle-like break at the climax for the audience to guess the killer!
