Edward Sutherland romantic horror mystery crime murder thriller (about an insanely jealous husband who is a wealthy zoologist, and any man who comes close to his wife ends up killed by the animals in a zoo, several in really gruesome ways, but ultimately, the man becomes a victim of his own animals!) starring Charles Ruggles, Lionel Atwill, Gail Patrick, Randolph Scott (in an early credited role), Kathleen Burke, and John Lodge. Note that male lead John Lodge has an interesting background! He came from an important New England family (his grandfather was William Henry Cabot Lodge), and he shocked them by becoming a movie actor! He appeared in a couple dozen movies between 1932 and 1940. He quit the movies to serve in World War II, and afterwards, in 1946, he became the second major movie actor ever to hold national political office, serving as a Congressman (the first was Helen Gahagan Douglas). In 1950, he became Governor of Connecticut, and later, he served as ambassador to several countries! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.
