skimpole Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 I think I missed something at the end of A Slight Case of Murder played this afternoon on TCM. So Edward G. Robinson uses the robbed money to pay off his mortgage, and then returns the money to the police. How does that make sense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marysara1 Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 There was a reward for the crooks (that he found dead in his house, that's why after he got rid of the bodies, he retrieved them for the reward money) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skimpole Posted March 22, 2019 Author Share Posted March 22, 2019 But I don't think the reward money equals the money they stole. (In fact common sense suggests that it wouldn't.) And the money stolen equals the amount of the mortgage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marysara1 Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 If you watch the movie again. When the bankers saw the money. They insisted on giving him an extension of the loan, which happens. Then he gives his daughter's boyfriend the money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swithin Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 I missed it this time, but it's a movie I always enjoy. And I never tire of mentioning that Ruth Donnelly's uncle was Mayor of Trenton, New Jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
