The Ghost Camera

The Ghost Camera (1933)

Lorsqu'une photographie est prise sur les lieux d'un meurtre, l'appareil est jeté par la fenêtre d'un château pour détruire les preuves et atterrit à l'arrière de la voiture du chimiste John Gray, qui, après avoir développé la pellicule, se transforme en détective amateur et part à la recherche de la femme photographiée. Le vol de l'appareil dans son laboratoire alimente encore davantage les soupçons de Gray.

Anecdotes

The Ghost Camera is a 1933 British mystery film directed by Bernard Vorhaus, starring Henry Kendall, Ida Lupino and John Mills. It was written by H. Fowler Mear based on "A Mystery Narrative", a short story by Joseph Jefferson Farjeon, and was made as a quota quickie.

Production

The film was made at Julius Hagen's Twickenham Studios as part of a long-term contract to provide films for the American major studio RKO enabling it to comply with the terms of the Cinematograph Films Act 1927. Most such films were cheaply made supporting features which became known as "quota quickies". Hagen's Twickenham company developed a reputation as a leading producer of popular quota quickies.

The film's director, Bernard Vorhaus, had arrived in Britain from America in 1930 and established himself as a director of quota films in Britain's rapidly growing film industry. His films became notable for featuring rapid editing (he often used the young David Lean as editor, who claimed that Vorhaus was a major early influence on him) and location shooting, both of which were relatively rare for supporting films.
