Aug 6 12 8:20 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	This was a reissue double-bill that first reached theatres in 1942, and which remained in circulation until the early 1950s. THE HIDDEN CORPSE was 1932's STRANGERS OF THE EVENING, adapted from Tiffany Thayer's murder mystery The Illustrious Corpse, and now available at archive.org: http://archive.org/details/Strangers_of_the_Evening_1932 THE MARK OF TERROR, meanwhile, was 1931's THE DRUMS OF JEOPARDY [IMDb] with all references to star Warner Oland removed from the advertising in an effort to disguise just how old the movie was (since he had been dead for several years).

Aug 8 12 9:57 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Thanks. I've heard of DRUMS OF JEOPARDY but haven't seen it yet (but will now thanks to the you tube link) ; in fact I see a double feature I'll be watching on my computer this weekend. I also saw a Karloff film advertised with the title DR MANIAC which turned out to be THE MAN WHO CHANGED HIS MIND.

Didn't take long for me to find I'd been tricked. I've always thought DRUMS OF JEOPARDY was a neat little film (goes well with Oland's Fu Manchu trilogy), but have never heard of STRANGERS OF THE EVENING/THE HIDDEN CORPSE. Will have to give that one a look.
