Blind Justice is a lost 1934 British thriller film directed by Bernard Vorhaus and starring Eva Moore, Frank Vosper, Geraldine Fitzgerald, Roger Livesey, and John Mills.[2][3] It was written by Vera Allinson based on the 1932 play Recipe for Murder by Arnold Ridley,[4] and was made at Twickenham Studios as a quota quickie for release by Universal Pictures.[5]
A review of the play, mentioning the forthcoming film, was one of the first uses of the word "whodunit" in print.[6]
The British Film Institute has classed Blind Justice as a lost film.[7] Its National Archive holds a collection of stills but no film or video materials.[2]
