Stranger on the Third Floor (1940)

Reporter testifies in a murder trial and upsets his bland girlfriend who thinks the defendant looks like a kid. Reporter's next-door neighbor gets knocked off and then there's a bunch of stagey nightmare sequences that look good but are laughably stiff. Bland girlfriend then morphs into stupid girlfriend by trying to capture the real killer all by her lonesome. Yawn.

The only thing unexpected in this movie are Lorre's cheapo Halloween teeth.
