Strangers of the Evening (1932) review

A dead body is spotted next to a morgue and brought in to be examined, leaving Detective Brubacher (Eugene Pallette) to go on the hunt for the killers - with limited information, Dr. Everette (Theodore von Eltz), his love interest Miss Daniels (Miriam Seegar) and undertaker's assistant Tommy (Harold Waldridge) are all named as key suspects.  Even for a fast-and-cheap "feature" this is particularly jumbled up, with too many newspaper headlines in there to try to explain what's happening (at the conclusion, it attempts to "neatly" tie everything together), and it's unsuccessful in trying to mix together "dark comedy" and an actual homicide investigation (apparently there are baddies out there trying to swap corpses around).  ZaSu Pitts is billed as the lead actress, but she's barely in it ... lucky for her.
