It wasn't made in the 30's, of course, but it was set in the 30's. I also enjoy the blend of mystery and comedy in the The Thin Man (1933) and The Cat and the Canary (1939). While the 30's is my favorite era for comedies, most of the mysteries I love come from the 40's, with the adaptation of 30's hardboiled pulp--The Maltese Falcon (1941); Grand Central Murder (1942, a guiltier pleasure); Murder, My Sweet (1944); Out of the Past (1947), and The Third Man (1949). Of course, none of that really answers your question.
