5/10
Based on an original story specifically for the screen by Dorothy L. Sayers.

This "The Silent Passenger" (1935), with nine missing minutes, is an Alpha video so do not expect anything to be fixed or updated. No subtitles. There are online versions with subtitles. A double plus is that there is no annoying background music.

The opening credits show which actor plays which character. However, it does not match the character to a picture.

Stilted dialog. There is an attempt at humor. Give it some time and the movie will grow on you. It starts with Mr. Windermere being truncated.

Lord Peter (Peter Haddon) wearing an ascot, does not try to match the book description. We do not have to worry about matching Ian Carmichael or Edward Petherbridge or even Robert Montgomery, as he was the first actor in a script that is not a book.
