THE GORILLA (1939). 20th Century Fox film that looks a lot like a Monogram, this is the dark and stormy night in the big house with a madman on the loose. Lionel Atwill receives threats from a killer as his niece and her fiancee arrive . He hires a Detective firm for protection and retain his household staff. While Patsy Kelly gets off some good wisecracks, her screaming is almost akin to nail on the blackboard.
Even more sadly, the Detective Firm/"Comedy Relief" comes from The Ritz Brothers, whose endless mugging/pratfalling/buffoonery is really too painful to endure. Mrs FD has said over the years that without the Brothers, TG is a pretty good little film.
Also for Genre fans is Bela Lugosi as another Butler, but to be honest, I find most of the laughs in the film come from him. **
