Poison Pen (1940)
I recently found Poison Pen on eBay UK.
Bobbie's role is not big, and he isn't a particularly attractive person, but he does his usual marvelous job and is a quite frightening personality.

Re: Poison Pen (1940)
Sam Hurrin at the dance with his wife and another villager.
Hurrin has received one of the letters.
A very upset Hurrin shows the letter to Reverend Rider, the village vicar.
------------------------------------
I won't show any more, because I don't want to give away too much of the plot.

Re: Poison Pen (1940)
You really are a screencapping goddess!!!! Thanks so much for those!!!
Sounds like a pretty groovy film, would you recommend it, even though The Bobster isn't in it too much???

Re: Poison Pen (1940)
My personal opinion (even though you didn't ask for it) is that's it's worth watching even if Bob is only in it for a few seconds.

I'd recommend anything the Bobster is in. I even enjoyed his much too small part in Dark Journey, though otherwise that film was a yawn, IMHO.
