Mysterious Intruder (1946)

Columbia Pictures
Directed by William Castle
My rating: 1.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Turner Classic Movies)

Another entry in the Whistler series, this time Richard Dix is a detective hired by an old shop owner to find a girl missing for 7 years. The girl shows up at the shop, but the "mysterious intruder" shoots the man and kidnaps the girl. The police blame Dix for the murder so he must find the real killer. Complicated plot is difficult to follow and  I gave up trying after awhile. Too much talk, too many characters, multiple red herrings, false identities, etc. do not make a good mystery.
