Death at Broadcasting House (1934)
Featuring early film roles for Ian Hunter, Jack Hawkins and Donald Wolfit,
this whodunit offers both a brilliantly inventive storyline and a fascinating
behind-the-scenes glimpse into the early days of radio and television. Released
in 1935, with scenes filmed at the BBC's then newly constructed London
headquarters (and encompassing performances by Broadway star Elisabeth Welch and
British singer/actress Eve Becke), Death at Broadcasting House
is presented here in a brand-new transfer from original film elements in its
as-exhibited theatrical aspect ratio.
When an actor is murdered during the recording of a radio play, Detective
Inspector Gregory quickly discovers that the victim had many enemies amongst his
fellow players. When his deductions lead him into a blind alley he decides to
reconstruct the crime, hoping that this tried and tested device will lead him to
the killer. All the technical and human resources of Broadcasting House are
brought to his aid...
