THE KENNEL MURDER CASE is one of those irresistable locked room murder mysteries that were all the rage in the 1930s. William Powell plays a crime-fighting sleuth who, with the aid of his dog (!) attempts to solve the murders of both humans and their canine associates. It's a rather cheap and hurried affair at times, a film with a slapdash feel to it, but nonetheless it moves through the clues and plot elements with speed and it's never dull. The solving of the mystery is as complicated as they come and the film is entertainingly old-fashioned, and you can't say fairer than that.
