Midnight Club (1933): cast, story & where to watch

Released in 1933, Midnight Club is a drama and crime film directed by Alexander Hall, running about 64 minutes. “Strange partners in an interesting profession” — that tagline sets the tone.

What it’s about. With a sparkling script by Leslie Charteris, creator of "The Saint" - the latest crime wave has Scotland Yard baffled. Commissioner Hope (Sir Guy Standing) sends two of his officers (Billy Bevan and Charles McNaughton) to the Midnight Club to check up on a couple of shady characters - Colin Grant (Clive Brook) and Arthur Bradley (Allan Mowbray) and a girl, Iris Witney (Helen Vinson). There have been a number of jewel robberies around town recently, but, unknown to the police, these three have the perfect alibis!!! They have found "doubles", and while they are out committing the robberies, their doubles spend the night at the club, confusing the two officers who are on their tail.

Who’s in it. Midnight Club stars Clive Brook as Colin Grant, George Raft as Nick Mason, Helen Vinson as Iris Whitney and Alison Skipworth as Lady Barrett-Smythe, among others.
