A bravura production of Verdi's Il Trovatore is the setting for this con brio blend of music, mystery and murder most foul. Leo Carrillo portrays Gino D'Acosta, a brilliant tenor who has millions of die-hard fans and at least one die-now enemy. Warned of impending doom by a mystic, Gino laughs it off -- until he performs an aria, then perishes - the victim of poisoning - in front of 20,000 wildly applauding witnesses. Whodunit? An L.A. cop (Chester Morris) has a long cast of suspects: the mystic, a deranged composer, an ambitious understudy, the cuckolded opera conductor, Gino's cast-off mistress, Gino's latest sweetheart and the sweetheart's former beau (Duncan Renaldo, who would play Cisco to Carrillo's Pancho in The Cisco Kid TV series and several films). The plot thickens when one of the suspects is the next to die. Can you spot the killer before he -- or she -- strikes again? Review: a really enjoyable film - I liked this movie for several reasons. First, I bought it because Leo Carillo and Duncan Renaldo were both in it. They were the pair from the CISCO KID TV series which I watched when I was a kid. I was surprised with the turn around here. Leo Carillo was excellent as the arrogant womanizing tenor and Duncan Renaldo, as the handsome jealous dancer, did his best with a smaller part. As far as the rest of the cast, Chester Morris plays a good detective (he also played Boston Blackie) and had believable chemistry with the heroine and the actor who plays the chief of police. J. Carrol Naish was unrecognizable as usual in a part where you are asking yourself 'who played the mad man?' See him in 'Charlie Chan in the Circus' to see a real character actor who can disappear into a role. Second, the scenes of the Hollywood Bowl and the production scenes of Il Trovatore take us back to the 30's and California history. Third, the murder mystery was good - lots of people wanted to murder the victim, so it's a good guessing game. I also became interested in seeing the whole opera, although I am not a fan of opera in general, and ordered a blu-ray of Il Trovatore because of the scenes I saw here. This movie will be a nice companion piece to that in my collection. Fourth, on the production side, I was surprised that the movie played better on my 46" than it did on my 9". Usually an old movie plays better on a smaller screen. But the grandeur of the opera scenes was way better on the larger screen. Considering this is a DVD-R, I didn't expect that. So all-in-all a pleasant way to spend some time. I would recommend it to fans of opera, history and 30's murder mysteries. Review: Thirties Thriller - My dad used to tell me about this movie which he saw as a child. I snatched it up out of curiosity and found it a fun little who-dunnit. There is quite a bit of opera singing throughout, which I enjoy but be forewarned if you are not an opera buff. The modus operandi has to be unique among murder mysteries. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00AIA86OY | | Actors | Chester Morris, Leo Carrillo | | Aspect Ratio | 1.33:1 | | Best Sellers Rank | #228,434 in Movies & TV ( See Top 100 in Movies & TV ) #8,157 in Romance (Movies & TV) #10,994 in Mystery & Thrillers (Movies & TV) | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 4.1 out of 5 stars (30) | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | MPAA rating | NR (Not Rated) | | Media Format | NTSC | | Number of discs | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 7.5 x 5.5 x 0.5 inches; 0.64 ounces | | Release date | December 4, 2012 | | Run time | 1 hour and 6 minutes | | Studio | Warner Archive | ## Product Details - **Contributor:** Chester Morris, Leo Carrillo - **Format:** NTSC - **Genre:** Mystery & Suspense - **Language:** English - **Runtime:** 1 hour and 6 minutes ## Images ![Moonlight Murder - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71UfsfIaIfL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ a really enjoyable film *by W***R on October 9, 2013* I liked this movie for several reasons.
