Railroaded to an insane asylum twenty years ago by four men who had taken over his newspaper, Lucius Marplay, publisher of the London Sun, escapes with the sole intent of murdering the four men responsible for his plight; Mark Peters, Sinclair Ellis, Nigel Partridge and Amos Craven. One by one, their advance obituaries appear in print, giving the exact day and hour on their impending deaths. And each future-obit becomes true for all but Peters. Also working on the case are Joan Marplay, the daughter who thought her father dead until his escape, and Noel Stretton, the star columnist for the 'Sun.' Plus, a strange character with a Scottish accent, Alistar McNab, of being on the scene at just the right time. Strangely enough, The London Tribune, continues to scoop the 'Sun' on the murders within its own building.
One of Universal's "Crime Club" series of the thirties, this movie has a few good moments and a decent premise, but it falls apart halfway through the story. I wouldn't be surprised if it worked better as a novel before it was adapted into a movie. An escapee from a lunatic asylum has announced his intentions to kill the four journalists whom he claims stole his newspaper away from him, and one by one his enemies meet their demise. But all is not as it seems.... There is some imagination in the plot, particularly in the second murder, but the imagination dries up when the guilty party leaves a clue so obvious that a six-year-old child would call Scotland Yard immediately. From that point on, the film loses its steam. Edmund Lowe is almost invisible for most of this movie, and the lion's share of the acting is done by the supporting cast. They're capable, but this story isn't very believable, and it's a far cry from Agatha Christie or Ellery Queen.
1939's "The Witness Vanishes" turned out to be a disappointing finale to Universal's Crime Club series, one of the three included in the famous SHOCK THEATER package issued to television in 1957. Lucius Marplay (Barlowe Borland) was the successful publisher of the London Sun until the birth of his beloved daughter Joan, after which his four partners began to take over the paper during his absence, eventually leading to his permanent ouster. Twenty years pass before Marplay makes his escape, vowing revenge against the quartet who put him away, each man's fate carefully scripted over the years. Ingeniously, the Sun publishes each man's obituary before they die, all just moments prior to their demise, until only publisher Mark Peters (Edmund Lowe) is left to face Marplay at his country estate. Wendy Barrie plays Marplay's adult daughter, who gets a secretarial job at the Sun, hoping to catch up with her missing father (other secretaries are played by Anne Nagel and Phyllis Barry). The intriguing premise is quickly undone by the increasingly improbable, split-second timing of events, and Lowe's somnambulistic performance in the central role (which also sank "Chandu the Magician") delivers the most fatal blow. The other Crime Club entries are all superior to this one, from the story "They Can't Hang Me," by Robertson White.
