Sky Murder (1940): cast, story & where to watch
1940 · Film · ★ 6.3
Released in 1940, Sky Murder is a comedy, drama, mystery and romance film directed by George B. Seitz, running about 72 minutes. “A NEW NICK CARTER ADVENTURE” — that tagline sets the tone.
What it’s about. This final Carter film is a lot of fun, with Nick (unwillingly, at first) taking on a ring of Fifth Columnists (since this was filmed before the US entered the war, we're not told the villains are Nazis, but it's pretty clear anyway). Of course, the helpful and persistent Bartholomew is at his side--much to Nick's irritation. To further complicate things--and to make them still funnier--Joyce Compton is along for the ride too, as a delightfully brainless "detective" named Christine Cross.
Who’s in it. Sky Murder stars Walter Pidgeon as Nick Carter, Donald Meek as Bartholomew, Kaaren Verne as Pat Evans (as Karen Verne) and Edward Ashley as Cortland Grand, among others.
