Critic Reviews for The Kennel Murder Case
All Critics (6) | Fresh (5) | Rotten (1)
As screen entertainment the story is rather complicated and not very strong in human interest, but it has been efficiently directed by Michael Curtiz and is on the whole well acted.
William Powell returns to the role that he originated in the late 1920′s. This is perhaps the finest of all the Vance films. It was directed by the legendary Michael Curtiz and features an early performance by Mary Astor.
Far and away the best of the Philo Vance pictures and perhaps the finest example of this particular kind of mystery ever made.
Audience Reviews for The Kennel Murder Case
Creaky mystery but Powell is suave and efficient as always.
Super Reviewer
Before the Thin Man, Powell played Philo Vance, detective. He has charm and humour in this movie as well. This movie is fun and exciting for a movie involving a dog.
Super Reviewer
Although William Powell is always a class-act, his Philo Vance seems to be Nick Charles, without as much fun. He's a detective trying to piece together a string of murders related to a dog show. I had a little bit of a difficult time keeping up, because so many of the actors looked alike. I kept getting confused on who was who. It's a good little film, but definitely not one of his best.
