Accused (1936 film)

Accused is a 1936 British mystery film directed by Thornton Freeland and starring Douglas Fairbanks Jr., Dolores del Río and Florence Desmond. It was written by Zoë Akins, George Barraud and Harold French.

Plot

Two dance partners become embroiled in a murder mystery when one of the dancers is accused of murder.

Cast

Production

The film was made at Isleworth Studios by the independent Criterion Films, of which Fairbanks was a co-owner. The film's sets were designed by Edward Carrick.

Reception

The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "The scenes at the theatre previous to the murder and the trial scene are tedious and longwinded. Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., gives a very pleasant and, at times, forceful performance as a faithful husband in a series of difficult situations and Dolores del Rio is suitably exotic. But their dancing is pitiable. Florence Desmond is hopelessly miscast as Yvette. Direction is throughout pedestrian; production values generally are good."
