Another "Shadow of a Doubt"

Not a Hitchcock film, this 1936 film with the same title airs on
TCM Thursday, October 19th at 7:30 AM (EST). Below is copied from
comments at IMDB:

"This is a neat little murder mystery/comedy with noted
Shakespearean actress Constance Collier absolutely delightful while
making her sound film debut. She plays a rich recluse who hadn't left
her apartment for twenty years, but does so when her nephew (Ricardo
Cortez) and his actress fiancée (Virginia Bruce) are prime suspects in
the murder of Bradley Page, with whom Cortez had fought earlier.
Collier didn't like the the idea of Cortez marrying a penniless
actress, but changes her mind after she meets Bruce, and sets about to
solve the murder by setting a trap for the murderer. I loved the banter
between Collier and twinkle-eyed Edward Brophy, playing the detective
in charge of the investigation. Their comedy and that of her butler,
Ivan Simpson had me chuckling throughout. Also a plus in the film were
the presence of Betty Furness and Isabel Jewell, both looking young and
beautiful. And I felt good about being able to guess who the murderer
was from the clues given. The film is worth seeing, especially for
murder mystery buffs."

Sounds like it could have been a Hitchcock story..
