Murder On the Blackboard (1934)
There was a pair of three detective comedies starring Edna May Oliver and James Gleason, before Edna switched studios and the franchise cast replacement actors. If you like the pair of tough cop and wise schoolteacher, you can watch them solve crimes in The Penguin Pool Murder, Murder On the Blackboard, and Murder On a Honeymoon.
In this one, while disciplining a student, Edna discovers the dead body of a fellow teacher. She quickly sends for police detective James, who’s still a bit resentful that she was so helpful during the penguin murder of their last picture. Together, they race against time to find the motive and the murderer. For me, the best part was getting to see two character actors taking the lead in a movie. The mystery and the production weren’t really top-notch, but I always like seeing someone get a chance they don’t normally get.
