Phony spiritualists were given a good going-over in the early talkie melodrama Darkened Rooms. Evelyn Brent stars as Ellen, a fraudulent medium working in cahoots with genuine clairvoyant Emory Jago (Neil Hamilton). The plotline is secondary; the film's main purpose was to emulate the methods of such professional "de-bunkers" as Mrs. Harry Houdini by exposing the various tricks of the spiritualist's trade.

PUNQ

Rated 28 Jan 2015

A story so silly that even a up and coming actor named Gary Cooper dared to risk his career to turn it down! Instead Neil Hamilton is the type of actor who'd take anything and goes with the psychic fraud trying to drag Evelyn Brent in with him for the big score of fooling a naive rich girl. Actually it's not that bad. Flows well enough to not drag and the two leads does well with the dubious script they had to work with. Seen early talkies struggle much more then this.
