Diligent City Market official Michael Lynn resists overtures by well-to-do gangster Kenneth Craige to fix produce and dairy prices during wartime. Lynn seems unable to stop the resulting sabotage and violence on the part of the mob to bring the farmers and wholesalers into line and so is fired by city attorney Jeffrey Moore. After Lynn’s assistant Bram Hart is murdered for going to the authorities, Lynn takes responsibility for his daughter and feigns co-operation with Craige in order to discover the real boss of the criminal enterprise. Lynn unmasks Moore as the corrupt head, and the conspiracy is exposed and foiled.

Plot Synopsis:
For a studio specializing in glossy soap operas, costume pictures and musicals, MGM made an inordinate number of “B”-grade crime thrillers in 1937. The first on the docket that year was Under Cover of Night, starring Edmund Lowe as intrepid sleuth Christopher Cross. This time the killer is an overachieving psychopath who strikes only at night, and is unaware that he is a murderer. Thus, the question here is not “who done it,” but rather — when will Christopher Cross catch on to what the audience knows almost from the beginning. The best performance is rendered by Henry Daniell as the respectable college professor who literally moonlights as the killer. MGM would resurrect the “Christopher Cross” character as a female private eye (played by Joyce Compton) in 1939’s Sky Murder. by Hal Erickson

Quote:

Directed by Tod Browning (Dracula (1931) & Freaks (1932)), this film features a host of character actors led by Robert Young as retired magician Mike Morgan, who now sells tricks to the other performers in his former trade (hence the film’s title). Frank Craven plays Young’s father, having just come to NYC to visit his son, and provides the film’s comic relief. Judy Barclay (Florence Rice) is being chased and comes to Morgan for help, whose assistance becomes the story, which plays out confusingly and frenetically during this picture’s 71 minutes. Henry Hull as Houdini-like Dave Duvallo and Lee Bowman (among others, some listed later) also appear in this Harry Ruskin, Marion Parsonnet, and James Edward Grant screenplay (based on Clayton Rawson’s novel).

The high points of this movie are the other “magicians” involved and the various tricks they (and Young’s character, Morgan) perform throughout the film. Morgan’s apartment is especially fun, with his father getting caught up inadvertently in many of them. At points throughout the movie, though, the viewer can become convinced that the showing of these tricks and/or the required special effects was the purpose for doing it in the first place. Some of these elaborate tricks must have blown the film’s budget because there are some real fake, if cleverly done, looking sets employed (e.g. a bookcase painted on the wall).

Shortly into the story, a magician is murdered such that Barclay and the other magicians, including Morgan, are all suspects. However, Morgan is allowed to help solve the mystery because he has apparently worked with the police to expose “fakes” (those in the trade that insist there really is an occult, that mind reading is possible, etc.) in the past. During the investigation, various magician’s “secrets” are revealed, some after temporarily fooling Morgan and the police into believing their authenticity. This part of the movie should be a delight for anyone who likes magic tricks, and wants to see how they are done (or could be done). Of course, Morgan solves the case.

Some of the more familiar character actors appearing in this film include Cliff Clark (in several of the Falcon Series films), appropriately playing a police inspector, William Demarest (Uncle Charlie from TV’s My Three Sons) playing his detective, and Eddie Acuff & Richard Loo (a popular Asian actor, also in The Falcon Strikes Back) appear uncredited.
