Murder in Soho (aka 'Murder in the Night') (1939)


While murder features prominently in both titles, the British one ('Murder in Soho') and the US one ('Murder in the Night'), the murder in the movie committed by Cotton Club nightclub owner Steve Marco in his upstairs office ends up being an incidental thing compared to the debauched comedic revellry of nightclub patrons downstairs - drunken dances, food fights, romances, love rifts, etc., which all has very little to do with the murder and the dull Scotland Yard investigation that ensues.

★★☆☆☆
