THE MAN UPSTAIRS
Every girl likes to put the man she is going to marry through some kind of a test, but few resort to staging a few murders for his benefit. Yet that is exactly what Marian Larnard, played by Dorothy Devore, did fer Geoffrey West (Monte Blue) in “The Man Upstairs,” Monte’s latest feature for Warner Brothers. “The Man Upstairs” is one of the best mystery comedy-dramas shown upon the screen in many a day. It is packed with thrilling episodes that nearly always end in a laugh, yet joined together in .such a way as to create a good story until the last flicker of film. The story tells of a. young man and woman
who meet via the “personal” column of a newspaper. In order to put him to the test of the things he professes to her, she stages a few things for his benefit. Some are real and some are not. But to distinguish these is the difficult part, and that is left for the audience to discover until every detail is explained in the last scenes.
