Now she's in France, eagerly awaiting a reunion with her brother, whom she hasn't seen since early childhood. How will Sue recognize him? He has the other half of the quotation. Put them together and brother and sister can claim a handsome inheritance -- but only if they live to collect it. A fine cast, that includes such mystery stalwarts as Ricardo Cortez (1931's The Maltese Falcon) and Minna Gombell (The Thin Man), gathers clues and stumbles over corpses in The White Cockatoo. New love, a kidnapping plot, a missing room key, a miniature sword and a crime-solving cockatoo complicate the action, guided by groundbreaking director Alan Crosland (The Jazz Singer, John Barrymore's Don Juan). The White Cockatoo is one of Crosland's last films, released the year before his death at age 41 from injuries sustained in a car accident. Review: Quite enjoyable and the bird in it is gorgeous! - Great who done it movie. Didn’t expect the twists and ending of movie. Really enjoyed it and wish there were a million other movies like this one. Highly recommend! It definitely keeps your attention. Review: Atmospheric Noir Mystery to Satisfy Fans - Except for one brief scene filmed atop a cliff overlooking the Pacific, "The White Cockatoo" was filmed in black and white entirely on Warner Bros. soundstages in 1934 giving it a claustrophobic feeling. However, this works perfectly to maintain that moody mysterious atmosphere in the famous film noirs of the 30s and 40s. Ricardo Cortez checks into a coastal French hotel run by a strange married couple. There he witnesses strange goings on in the hotel courtyard involving a white cockatoo, a stranger who is claimed was never there but is later murdered outside Cortez's room balcony, and Cortez chases the killer into the hotel lobby, where the owners swear no one came. Later Cortez meets Jean Muir who has been a hotel resident for a year since her mother died. She awaits her brother whom she hasn't seen since she was a toddler. Both have half a secret quotation to share to claim big bucks - if they survive to collect it. The title bird unmasks the killer making the entire cockatoo cocktail a delicious mystery that should satisfy fans of the genre and is based on a novel by the late great author Mignon G. Eberhart. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Contributor | Minna Gombell, Ricardo Cortez | | Customer Reviews | 4.0 out of 5 stars 42 Reviews | | Format | NTSC | | Genre | Mystery & Suspense | | Language | English | | Runtime | 1 hour and 13 minutes | ## Product Details - **Contributor:** Minna Gombell, Ricardo Cortez - **Format:** NTSC - **Genre:** Mystery & Suspense - **Language:** English - **Runtime:** 1 hour and 13 minutes ## Images ![The White Cockatoo - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61tdQg2WXfL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quite enjoyable and the bird in it is gorgeous! *by L***. on March 10, 2025* Great who done it movie.

It is certainly a fun movie and I'd rather watch film like these rather than those movies made today without character or subject that captivates your attention from the beginning. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.pa/products/6038124-the-white-cockatoo](https://www.desertcart.com.pa/products/6038124-the-white-cockatoo) --- *Product available on Desertcart Panama* *Store origin: PA* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
