About The Twenty Questions Murder Mystery
The story evolves around a radio panel game show "Twenty Questions." The panel is challenged with an anonymous question. The answer leads to a series of murders in which the killer uses the programme to name his victims in advance. Two reporters spot a link between them and enlist the aid of the panel in trapping the guilty party.
Directed by Paul L. Stein, The Twenty Questions Murder Mystery leans on a strong ensemble — Robert Beatty, Rona Anderson, Clifford Evans — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about mystery titles of 1950.
