Wikipedia article
'The Scarab Murder Case' is a 1936 film directed by Michael Hankinson. It is part of a series of films about fictional detective Philo Vance. Paramount Pictures intended for William Powell to portray the character, as he had in three prior Paramount films - 'The Canary Murder Case' (1929), 'The Greene Murder Case' (1929) and 'The Benson Murder Case' (1930) - as well as 'The Kennel Murder Case' (1933) for Warner Bros. However, Powell changed studios, and the role went to Wilfrid Hyde-White.
The British Film Institute has placed it on its BFI 75 Most Wanted list of lost films.
