Being a fan of the Universal studios monster movies and others from the 30s/40s, and having watched them too many times to count, here's one from '39 Son of Frankenstein, where Inspector Krogh (Lionel Atwill) is confronting Wolf von Frankenstein (Basil Rathbone) on his knowledge that the Monster is indeed alive and killing people, including Wolf's own butler, Benson.
Wolf: Benson?
Krogh: He's dead. I just found his body in a secret passageway off the nursery. Here's his watch. It's been in the possession of your son. Here's a bit of chain that was attached to Brandon's vest. But Ygor didn't do it, nor did you. Nor was it done by any 'ghost!' There's a monster afoot and you know it! He's in your control. By heaven, I think you're a worse fiend than your Father! Where is this monster? Where is he? I'll stay by your side until you confess! And if you don't, I'll feed you to the villagers, like the Roman's fed Christians to the lions!
Wolf: I wouldn't put it past you! In the meantime, will you have a drink, or would you like to play darts?
