Horrendous Performance by a Very Good Actor - Walter Huston (Spoilers)
Walter Huston really chews the scenery in this film, mugging and acting like someone out of a 19th century stage melodrama while everyone else in the film acts in a more straightforward, natural way. I think it was deliberate to make the audience presume he was the killer and turn thoughts away from the other more obvious suspect It's embarrassing to see an actor as talented as Huston ham it up this bad.
