The Man Who Wouldn't Die

A man believed dead and buried comes out of his grave. He returns to the scene of the crime, and he is after revenge. A detective sets about solving the matter. The relations inside the house, above all the tension between a stepmother and a stepdaughter, complicate it. The film sets up its mystery quickly and runs it quickly. The sixty five minutes are used for a single knot and the inside of a single family. It is one of the short crime pictures of American cinema in 1942. Lloyd Nolan and Marjorie Weaver take the leads, with Helene Reynolds and Henry Wilcoxon also in the cast. Herbert I. Leeds’s American film was completed in 1942.
