The Charlatan (1929)
This murder mystery is played with light sophistication, evading the heavy dramatic angle which ordinarily accompanies such themes. A fashionable crystal gazer finds himself in the piquant situation of revealing his former wife's infidelities to her present husband. The lady is murdered and, disguised as the district attorney, the fake Hindoo exposes the murderer. Fast work, neatly done by Holmes Herbert.
