One Mysterious Night (DVD)

Boston Blackie (Chester Morris, Alibi, Blind Alley), the notorious jewel thief turned agent for those in need of help -- whether inside or outside the law -- gets caught in Inspector Farraday's (Richard Lane) sights again -- this time for a daring jewel theft. When the publicity around the theft of the Blue Star of the Nile gets out, Farraday apologizes to Blackie for planting the story in the papers, and enlists Blackie and sidekick The Runt (George E. Stone, Island of Doomed Men, The Face Behind the Mask) to aid in finding the real culprit. But whenever beautiful blonde Dorothy Anderson (Janis Carter, Night Editor, Slightly French) is on the scene, she gums up the works, getting Blackie arrested despite his deal with the inspector. Directed by noted western director Budd Boetticher (Decision at Sundown, The Tall T), this film is another fantastic entry in the series. Newly remastered.
