Convicted is a 1931 American pre-Code film directed by Christy Cabanne and starring Aileen Pringle and Jameson Thomas.
Tony Blair, a producer of Broadway plays, is murdered on a California-bound passenger liner, and a series of events leads to an assumption that Claire Norvelle has committed the killing. Despite the fact that Blair was an obnoxious character, murder is murder and Barbara is accused of the crime. Complications arise when another murder occurs. The startling solution clears Barbara and provides a surprising explanation of the two murders.
The Motion Picture Guide , first published in 1985, describes Convicted as a "nicely developed murder mystery". However, in his 2010 biography and guide Wild Bill Elliot: A Complete Filmography , author Gene Blottner characterizes the film as "an adequate but undistinguished low-budget murder mystery". [1]
