This Mummy was no dummy!
Up agains the likes of Stu Weltman (Det Sullivan) he was just a pile of putty and rags.
Weltman (definately not an Irishman) was just terrific. He delivered just the right touch to what may have been a total bomb were it not for his sterling performance.
Watch our Sam Spade. Weltman now in his dotage would still outshine any Dective of recent vintage swith the possible exception of the late Robert Stack as Eliot Ness.
Stu had him by a nose.
Prone to wearing a powderblue Tuxedo Later on in life and appearing with sme in Corned Beef Johnnies on Washington Blvd where I immediately recognized him quaffing a Johhnie's special, Stu is at one impressive and very friendly.
The Tomb will take it's place along side the Ma and Pa Kettle Films of the 40's.
Stu could have been a contender were it not for Sheldon Leonard who resembes him in speach pattern and that toght guy attitude.
Stu's short film career (He made Two) is a tru loss to we who worship character actors, with that suave of a New York man about town.
The movie is kitch to be sure, but Stu was the show stealer. What a detective!
