MURDERS IN THE ZOO (1933) ¢ ¢ 1/2
D: A. Edward Sutherland
Lionel Atwill, Gail Patrick, Randolph Scott,
Charlie Ruggles, Kathleen Burke, John Lodge
A power-mad zoologist, obsessed with the attention his wife keeps getting from other men, brings a boatload of wild animals back to the States and deposits them in a zoo, where people start turning up dead, apparently killed by the animals. Randolph Scott plays a doctor whose antidote for snakebite comes in handy when he's bit by a snake. Charlie Ruggles plays a talkative PR guy and delivers what's supposed to be comic relief. Lionel Atwill plays the jealous zoologist, and if it's not revealing too much, let's just say that you can't trust Lionel Atwill. Ever.
