Quotes
Penny: You can call me Penny. That's all I'm worth, anyway. And so you know, just before my performance I want a bottle of Champagne. And one after. And on that topic, if possible, one more.
Peter Thorsten: But that raises the cost a little more than just a penny.

More music than mystery

I watched MYSTERY OF THE GREEN SPIDER due to my love of the German krimi films, although this one's more musical than mystery. It stars Adrian Hoven, who I know for his later involvement with MARK OF THE DEVIL, and is set entirely in a little nightclub populated by a variety of musical acts circa Germany in 1959. Oh, and one of the singers gets bumped off, and the usual detective and reporter team up to figure out who did it. While the mystery is intriguing at times, there simply isn't enough of it to keep this film going. The musical numbers are fun at times but there are too many similar-sounding ones and that saps enjoyment from them.
