Murder on a Honeymoon (1935)


Radio Pictures
Directed by Lloyd Corrigan
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Turner Classic Movies)

Edna May Oliver is back as Hildegarde Withers, schoolteacher turned sleuth. She flies to Catalina on vacation, but one of the other passengers is murdered en route. The suspects include a newlywed couple, a Hollywood director and the plane's pilots. Inspector Piper flies in from New York to help with the case, since there may be a mob connection. Run-of-the-mill mystery makes little use of its exotic location, although the banter between Withers and Piper can be entertaining.
