In this early "talkie," William Powell stars as sophisticated detective Philo Vance, who is
brought in to investigate the killing of multi-millionaire Tobias Greene. Vance brings together
a handful of likely suspects, but it soon becomes apparent he hasn't found the guilty party
when all nine of the possible candidates also wind up dead. Vance starts taking a closer
look at Greene's mourning family — as well as the circumstances under which he earned
his fortune. Based on the novel by S.S. Van Dine's novel, The Greene Murder Case also stars
Jean Arthur, Florence Eldridge, and Ullrich Haupt.
