The Corpse Vanishes (1942)

An American mystery directed by Wallace Fox, starring Bela Lugosi.
After several brides die at their weddings and their corpses are stolen in transit to the funeral home, a newspaper journalist investigates the story. All of the brides were wearing a special flower that is traced to a scientist.
This was a dismal attempt at filmmaking. The acting was sub-par and the editing left much to be desired. The audio and video were a little less than standard for the time and there wasn't much style to speak of. The journalist character was alright, but the rest were extras and I found the plot unamusing. Generally, it just wasn't worth watching. I rate it bad.
