The House of the Spaniard

The House of the Spaniard is a 1936 British comedy thriller film directed by Reginald Denham and starring Peter Haddon, Brigitte Horney and Allan Jeayes.

It was shot at Ealing Studios in west London, England, and on location in Lancashire and Spain.

An unemployed and seemingly dull-witted young man named David Grey stays with his friend Johnny Gilchrist in Liverpool while he looks for work.

Due to a mistake, he is hired by a Spanish-owned shipping company whose owner "Don" Pedro de Guzman lives in a lonely, mysterious house in the marshes outside Liverpool.

Grey's curiosity is aroused by the unexplained death of a man whom he had spoken to on the marshes, close to the house.
