Murder on a Bridle Path is a 1936 American mystery film directed by William Hamilton and Edward Killy and starring James Gleason, Helen Broderick and Louise Latimer.[1] This film was the fourth production in the Hildegarde Withers series, and the only one in which Broderick played Hildegarde Withers.

Plot

[edit]

An apparent accident involving a horse in Central Park leads a police inspector to join forces with a schoolteacher (Hildegarde Withers, played by Helen Broderick) to solve a woman's death.

There is a long list of suspects and motivations for the murder. This was the first in this series to not feature Edna May Oliver in the lead, but the chemistry between James Gleason and Helen Broderick is a good mix.
