Homicide for Three (1948)

A young couple suffer the honeymoon from Hell.


Young naval officer Lieutenant Duluth (Warren Douglas) returns from his ship to finally enjoy a honeymoon with his new wife Iris (Audrey Long). However, they can't find a hotel room in town but in the end accept the loan of a room from a kind lady. But this hurls them into an awful mystery involving multiple dead women, a bearded drunk and a showdown with two murderous clowns at a circus! Can they find the true culprit before the police arrest them for the murders?

An interesting little crime drama which is played fairly light most of the time, though it isn't funny enough to be a proper comedy and too humorous to be a proper crime drama! It is a worthwhile and enjoyable watch all the same. Seasoned crime drama fans will probably guess who the real killers are though!
