A gloomy old mansion on a stormy night, the murders of the patriarch and matriarch of an old Atlanta money family, a dumb detective, strangers peaking inside windows, fights on darkened stairs and scaredy cat black servants. About as believable as an episode of "Scooby Doo", yet well cast with dependable character players. It also laughs at the often repeated plot by having radio show writer Wendy Barrie criticized by the wisecracking John Hubbard for writing such dribble. Edgar Kennedy as the slow burning idiot investigator, Elizabeth Patterson as the matriarch who gathers the clan together, Mona Barrie as a bitchy member of the family and Willie Best as the nervous valet are among the clichéd characters who pop in and out of the messy screenplay. Scattered laughs here and there, but not much else.

No, no, I'm kidding. The butler didn't do it, in fact there is no butler in this movie - in his place there is a stereotypically easily-scared-out-of-his-mind black errand man (he didn't do it, either). You could argue that everything about "Who Killed Aunt Maggie?", from the dark and stormy night and the old house with possible but still undiscovered secret rooms to the disappearance of the dead bodies and the family of suspects, is stereotypical, but at least it's done in a rather self-aware way. The movie doesn't seem to aim any higher than just being a fast-moving, instantly forgettable mystery programmer, and at that it succeeds. One particularly funny scene has a character trying to find the secret room behind a bookcase - only to have the entire bookcase fall on him! ** out of 4.

I'm a fan of "Old House" movies and, when i heard about THIS one, i tried to get it for a long time.When i finally DID, i was very disappointed. It's easy to spot the murderer, but that's not what makes it so disappointing.This film has a top-notch cast - Eliz Paterson, Willie Best, Joyce Compton, Milton Parsons, Wendie Barrie, etc -- ALL veteran "Old House" actors. AND, a screenplay by the fantastic Stuart Palmer!But, the movie drags on & on, with the usual "cut phone wires", "cars put out of commission", etc.....it would've benefited from some real SCARES.It drags along, to an ending that doesn't make much sense. Don't waste your time on THIS one, unless you're a die-hard fan!

"Who Killed Aunt Maggie?" is very typical of the B-movie mystery. It takes place in a remote and spooky old house. And most of the action takes place on a dark and stormy night.All the clichés of this type of film are used. Secret passageways, cut phone lines (so no one can call the police), disabled cars (also, so no one can fetch the police). It has three murders, disappearing corpses, a secret diary written in code, and even a black cat thrown in for good measure.Sounds like a lot of tripe? Well it is, but it's handled with great skill by a veteran cast of character actors. Elizabeth Patterson as Aunt Maggie is wonderful. Willie Best, typecast as the terrified black butler, does a great job with his material (and he was given some pretty good lines). In fact, his comic talent does much to carry this story. Edgar Kennedy as the sheriff does his usual "slow burn" routines, Wendie Barrie is her at her best, and the staid Walter Abel is typically poker-faced. The rest of the cast does a great job as well.It's fairly easy to figure out who the killer is, but who cares? I always enjoy watching this programmer and I recommend it to anyone who can find it! (It's not easy digging up a copy of this film). I'm a fan of B-movie spooky-house mysteries, and was delighted to see this film. I rated it 9.
