Interesting facts

Murder in the Blue Room is a 1944 American horror mystery film, directed by Leslie Goodwins.

Background

The plot is based on the 1932 German film Secret of the Blue Room. Universal Pictures remade it three times: as the Pre-Code murder-mystery film Secret of the Blue Room (1933), then as The Missing Guest (1938), and finally as Murder in the Blue Room (1944).

Murder in the Blue Room was originally intended for the Ritz Brothers (Harry, Jimmy, and Al), whose recent films presented them as a vaudeville act (The Three Jolly Jesters, The Three Merry Madcaps, The Three Funny Bunnies). The next project had the comedy trio scheduled to play The Three Mad Hatters. After the Ritzes left the studio, the studio recast the film with Grace McDonald, June Preisser, and Betty Kean as The Three Jazzy Belles.
