Murder in the Footlights (1946) a.k.a. The Trojan Brothers DVD-R
Starring Patricia Burke, David Farrar, Bobby Howes, Barbara Mullen, Lesley Brook
Directed by Maclean Rogers
Print: black/white
Runtime: 85 min.
Genre: comedy
Print quality: B
Based on the novel by Pamela Hansford Johnson, Trojan Brothers offers the unlikely screen team of music hall funster Bobby Howes and up-and-coming leading man David Farrar. The stars are cast as Benny and Sid, two-bit vaudevillians who tour the provinces with a "horse" act. Sid plays the front end of the horse, while Benny brings up the rear (type-casting, as it turns out). The harmony between the two troupers is disrupted when Sid falls in love with fickle socialite Betty Todd (Patricia Burke). Meanwhile, Benny finds happiness -- or at least security -- with plain-looking Maggie (Barbara Mullen). In case all this sounds like a lighthearted comedy, it isn't, especially when the maddened Sid exacts revenge upon the faithless Betty.
