Invisible Ghost Ace Boggess Banner Productions, Monogram Pictures, 1941

Bela, killer, debonair in a haunting suit, having dinner with his dead wife

who isn’t really & isn’t at the table. Hypnotic insanity—

nobody plays it like he: with his cool delivery, how he chokes the air out of the screen. Oh, but police can’t solve murders for years

in the same house— better to be a criminal than an employee.
