Hello,

I would love to know the title of a classic B&W crime / thriller film presented at CineCon!

I haven't seen the film, but I saw 6-7 seconds of it in an episode (#530) of Stu's Show from August 22, 2018. 

A deserted road was shown at night, leaves flying everywhere and a creepy house at the end of that road. A storm was coming. Then two men suddenly start fighting in front of the house and finally, an old fat guy dressed in a suit dead (killed?) on the floor of the house...

I took a video screen capture and that little bit of footage is towards the end of the capture. I attached some screenshots as well.

Any help would be very much appreciated!!!

Nigel Bruce or Frank Morgan ?
The more I look I'm leaning towards Bruce

Hello Ed,

I just verified but i think he is none of them... I can send you - if you want - that very brief footage (a couple of seconds) if you give me your e-mail address. The footage is towards the end of the video. Thanks much for trying to help me!

P.S.: The image is very dark. I have it on Google Drive.

UPDATE:  Thanks to you, Ed, I found the film i was searching for!!! It is one of the Sherlock Holmes films with Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce - titled Sherlock Holmes Faces Death (1943).

* The actor in the two photos is Halliwell Hobbes.
