The 9th Guest
Eight people are invited to dinner in a fashionable penthouse apartment. After they are wined and dined, a voice on the radio informs them that they will be murdered unless they manage to outwit the ninth guest: Death. Eight people, all of whom have reason to hate at least some of the others, are invited by a mysterious unknown host to spend the night in a penthouse apartment. After the five men and three women are wined and dined, they're greeted by their host's voice via a radio broadcast. The voice announces that before the night is over, each one will be systematically murdered unless they manage to outwit their ninth guest: Death. Based on the mystery novel "The Invisible Host" (1930) by Gwen Bristow and Bruce Manning. —Sirron-3 Predating Agatha Christie's "And Then There Were None" by almost a decade, this is based on a novel called "The Invisible Host" by a husband-and-wife writing team, that Owen Davis later adapted into a play. Eight people are invited to a large penthouse with an outdoor space where eight graves are stacked. Trapped by an electrically-charged gate by their unknown host, they begin to meet mysterious deaths. Invitees include college dean Dr. Murray Reid (Samuel S. Hinds), radical Henry Abbott (Hardie Albright), socialite Margaret Chisholm (Nella Walker), political boss Tim Cronin (Edward Ellis), lawyer Sylvia Inglesby (Helen Flint), crooked stockbroker Jason Osgood (Edwin Maxwell), author Jim Daley (Donald Cook), and Hollywood film star Jean Trent (Genevieve Tobin). —Les Adams <longhorn1939@suddenlink.net>
