About The Mystery of the Yellow Room
Mathilde Strangerson, the daughter of an eminent scientist, narrowly escapes being murdered in her own bedroom by an unknown assailant.

Reporter and amateur sleuth Joseph Rouletabille arrives on the scene to protect Mathilde and resolve the mystery of the yellow room.
Directed by Marcel L'Herbier, The Mystery of the Yellow Room leans on a strong ensemble — Roland Toutain, Huguette Duflos, Kissa Kouprine — 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 crime titles of 1930.
