Calling Philo Vance (1940)
Country: US
Technical: bw 62m
Director: William Clemens
Cast: James Stephenson, Margot Stevenson, Henry O'Neill
Synopsis:
Philo Vance cases an aircraft designer for the US government who may be mixed up with foreign agencies.
Review:
One of several film spin-offs from the works of S. S. Van Dine (qv. The Kennel Murder Case). By now definitely relegated to B movie fare, with William Powell replaced by the pallid Stephenson, the Warners production is workmanlike but brisk enough.
