Fingers at the Window (1942)

MGM
Directed by Charles Lederer
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Turner Classic  Movies)

An axe murder terrorizing Chicago shuts down Lew Ayres' play. He escorts a girl home when he notices she is being followed, and turns amateur detective to find the killer. The trail leads to none other than Basil Rathbone, a demented doctor trying to knock off eyewitnesses. Unfortunately, this is more fluff than mystery or horror, the budding romance between Ayers and Laraine Day as the girl is front and center, laced with tiresome physical comedy.
