Endearing little mystery comedy has charm.

Can you imagine Errol Flynn in a light comedy/suspense story, wearing a suit and a tie?

Audience Reviews for Footsteps in the Dark

Oct 13, 2014

Errol has a good time in this light hearted(and headed) mystery. Nothing special but breezy with what seems to be the entire Warners stock company along for the ride.
