Featured review
Fun if creaky
THE DRUMS OF JEOPARDY is one of those fun little programmers that mixes a couple of genres to good effect. Overall it's a murder mystery with touches of horror in the form of Warner Oland's mad scientist antagonist, who has a vendetta against the family that he holds responsible for the death of his daughter. The first half of this creaker plays out as a political drama with plenty of sensation, while the second is more of a traditional old dark house movie with victims being bumped off one by one. Oland's character has the purely coincidental name of Dr Boris Karlov which only adds to the enjoyment.
