Footsteps in the Dark (film)
Footsteps in the Dark is a lighthearted 1941 mystery film starring Errol Flynn as an amateur detective investigating a murder.
Blondie White was about the adventures of Frank Warren, a writer of detective novels who gets involved in a real life murder, along with his wife. It made its debut in London in 1937 starring Basil Sydney and Joan Marion. The Scotsman called it a dexterous and ingenuously contrived little piece. Warner Bros bought the film rights in October, with a view to possibly filming it at their British studios. On the same trip Jack L. Warner also bought the rights to The Amazing Dr Clitterhouse and George and Margaret.In December 1937 Warners announced they would make Blondie White as Footsteps in the Dark. Frank Cavett was assigned to write the script and Joan Blondell and Claude Rains were mentioned as possible stars. ........
