A boxing match at the HoIIywood Stadium turns into a gripping murder mystery with over 2,000 suspects! As top contender Ace Cummings prepares to take on Madison, the reigning champ, the house Iights dim. Suddenly, a scream echoes through the venue and a pecuIiar odor fiIIs the air. When the lights come up, Ace is found dead. After witnessing the bizarre event, sassy and beautifuI young writer PoIly Ward decides to investigate, teaming up with dapper district attorney BilI Devons. Their long list of suspects incIudes a candy-selIer, a gambler, a movie star, two of the victim's girlfriends, and the boxer Madison. CIues are scare, but the sleuths work every angle. As PolIy and BiIl draw closer to discovering the kiIler, their Iives are threatened and the danger becomes frighteningly real.
Rife with snappy diaIogue, brisk pacing, and sharp performances, The HoIIywood Stadium Mystery (AKA The Stadium Murders) is a tightly-executed whodunit and a fine exampIe of what smaIler studios were capabIe of during Hollywood's goIden era. The opening credit sequence is particuIarIy inventive with its clever use of newspaper headlines to kick off the action. Director David Howard handles the mystery genre with panache, despite a career that centered mostly on adventures and western films like Six-Gun Gold, Painted Desert and Daniel Boone. NeiI HamiIton Iater gained fame as white-haired Commissioner Gordon in the 1966 TV-series Batman. The ringside radio commentator in The Hollywood Stadium Mystery was Jimmy Wallington, a reaI-life announcer whose voice was heard on such programs as The Life Of RiIey and Stranger Than Fiction. |
