I find it hard to believe that this passed for entertaining, even back in 1944.

I am told that The Mask of Demetrios is great movie. However, the OPL copy I received was defective & wouldn't play. Users should advise the library of defective DVD's.
A bore. Some good actors lost in a silly story about a mysterious criminal who may or may not be dead. Peter Lorre and Sidney Greenstreet had teamed for The Maltese Falcon, and the studio obviously thought they'd make a great team here, but they're only fitfully interesting.
