Rainey Dawn This is a good mystery-thriller from the 1930s... it's got enough comedy in it to bust up all the drama unfolding on the screen to keep the film more interesting. There is quite a bit of dark humor in this tale.This is one of Ginger Rogers cutest roles; she plays Pat Morgan a reporter that is getting the scoop on the murders taking place while her rival reporter, Ted Kord (Lyle Talbot), works on the same case to report. These two rivals find themselves working closer together to help solve the crimes while falling in love.What is big scoop? Who is killing people in the apartment building and why? If you like comedy mystery-thrillers then I would recommend watching this movie to find out the answers - it's an entertaining film.8/10

kai ringler well I must say that this is the first movie I've ever seen with Ginger Rodgers in it,, yeah I know it's the first time I've ever seen her but lemme say wow,, yeah that's right,, the story is about a little murder mystery,, people are getting killed in an apartment complex and her and a rival reporter have to figure out who done it,, problem is both of them are trying to out-scoop the other one , and that leads them into conflict with the police as well as each other , I did appreciate the killer's way of disposing of the bodies,, I won't give it away, but let's just say you will have to watch to find out.. you don't know right away who the killer is and it really is revealed till close to the end of the movie. all in all not a bad little movie,, a little slow moving but good.

dbdumonteil Mainly interesting for Ginger Rodgers ' presence:she plays a journalist who becomes a young Miss Marple to investigate a dark case which features suicide (?) ,drowning,murders .It's a strange mixture of whodunit (the culprit ,for once,is not easy to guess ) of gangsters and of journalists vying for scoops (poor Rodgers gets fired because of one of her colleagues' cheap trick).Made on a shoestring budget (there are three or four rooms in the whole movie), the only way they use to create fear is the dark,and it always works ,mainly during the last scenes.The cards with the snake are quite Doylesque .So is the way the murderer does away with his victims.

wes-connors "Rival reporters Pat Morgan (Ginger Rogers) and Ted Rand (Lyle Talbot) are always trying to out-scoop each other on stories. The latest involves the mysterious death of a philanthropist who fell to his death after a shriek was heard from his penthouse apartment. The two reporters start out as rivals but combine efforts to solve the crime and write the story when more residents of the apartment building turn up dead," according to the DVD sleeve's synopsis.This said-to-be follow-up to "The Thirteenth Guest" has little to do with the earlier movie; it is not a sequel, as has been inferred. Ms. Rogers continues to develop her skills. Mr. Talbot adds a little humor to his characterization. They are a pleasant team, the plot is interesting and mysterious; but, the resulting film is very dull. The opening and closing are startling. A long-winded wrap-up of plot development points follows the climax.*** A Shriek in the Night (1933) Albert Ray ~ Ginger Rogers, Lyle Talbot, Harvey Clark
