» » Murder at Monte Carlo (1935)

Short summary

A professor comes up with a system to win at roulette, and goes to the famous casino at Monte Carlo to try it out. When he turns up murdered and his "system" missing, a reporter sets out to find the killer--and the system.

According to the September 2007 online article on the Turner Classic Movies website about the TCM festival of films made at Teddington Studios in the UK, this film, made by Warner Brothers at that studio, is still lost. TCM and WB attempted to find the film for the TCM festival, to no avail.

In February 1956 Warner Bros. head Jack L. Warner sold the rights to all of the studio's pre-December 1949 films (including this one) to Associated Artists Productions. AAP merged with United Artists Television in 1958, and later was subsequently acquired by Turner Broadcasting System in early 1986 as part of a failed takeover of MGM/UA by Ted Turner.

One of the "75 Most Wanted" films listed by the British Film Institute as "Missing, believed lost".
