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.
