Hello!  The Benson Murder case is a great "WhoDunIt" Classic Movie.  It stars the wonderful William Powell, (slinky) Natalie Morehead, (gruff-voiced) Eugene Pallette,  Paul Lukas, and more...
This story takes place during and after the Stock Market Crash of '29.  Many people are ruined because of a low-life investor who gave cause for his clients to want revenge.  He still has his beautiful place in the country, money, servants...This home of his is the visual setting for this Classic Philo Vance story, made into an early Talkie movie.
