I LOVE this movie... great entertainment! They knew how to make good comedy, mysteries in the 30's and 40's, (no violence or sex)- superb character actors!
Unfortunately I feel today's youth have no idea what love actually is, because it's all about lust these day's! The WORLD has become a strange, twisted PERVERSE place! Sadly!!!
Great classic you won’t see again I enjoy theses classic movies back in the 40’s and 50’s especially before bed I put one of theses classic movies on keep them coming ❤❤
A cute, cute entertaining movie!!! Thank you, PizzaFlix. So many positive comments and rightfully so. We are all grateful for your uploads. You really are to be commended. Thanks, from all of us.
What a load of wonderful rubbish. I have fallen in love with Patsy (Robin Raymond) the original pocket dynamo. Not sure I have ever seen her before, but thought she was quite brilliant. Fact is, ever the aged police lieutenant like the remaining cast gave a totally convincing performance. Always loved Frank Jenks's voice. Thank you so much for this.
Modern movies are nothing but porn flicks full of gratuitous sex scenes. Women with wigs, implants, and pasty make-up. Men without a clue. LSD-inspired 'action' scripts/plots. No wonder The Golden Age gave way to 'Tinseltown'.
RANDALL2020: I worked in an office where one clerk and one manager were separately found to be spaced out on the stuff and were fired. A friend from outside later got arrested for possession and got a hefty fine. That's what I know, aside from the various medical reports on the damage it can do. Not for me. If I want to get messed up I only need to drink public water which is fluoridated.
I'm having a regular Mother's Day celebration here. And my mom's been dead since 1998. But twice I've seen a pretty girl in a 1940's haircut and been reminded of my mother.
Classics are classics for a very classy reason. Time never fades with a classic...only gets better in time. And always better to watch or listen to. I like all types of classics. Thanks PizzaFlix ;-D Luv, Luv
Gosh you sound like you have a great love for the classics! What a sweet comment you left! That was super nice! I find I really appreciate old movie's more as time goes by!
A light mystery with a few murders, a good car chase, several knocked unconscious, adequate sound, movie visibility good, some funny lines reminding me a little of slapstick comedy. Overall, a film good enough to keep me watching even after dozing off a few times (not the film's fault, but the cat whose picture is shown here awakened me at 5:00 a.m. and haven't had a "cat" nap myself today). PizzaFix, we have watched many good movies from your channel. Thank you.
Ever notice, in these old movies, that no one ever drives a clunker car? They're all newer, all nice and shiny, and all in visibly good shape. That's better than we can do today.

That guy took a picture of the fellow who was trying to get the drawings after chasing them with a car and didn't know it till the end of the movie. I didn't know reporters could behave with police men the way she behaves with them. A real good comedy.
Did you check out that big hat and those shoes on Patsy in the beginning of the flick? I swear those shoes made a comeback in the early 70's! Eddie could pass for Bob Hope .
Patsy Clarke wore a beautiful feminine hat. In those days an Irish policeman beyond retirement age could shoot a man running away in the line of duty. Today the police cannot do that.
They sure were into hats back then. Men in their Fedoras but the women wore some really crazy hats. Now it's mostly trucker baseball caps and knit caps in winter.
Those pompous film critics who complain that classic Hollywood cinema objectifies women under the passive gaze of the camera obviously have never seen any movies like this one. Bold, brisk, and brassy. OK, Ducky?
Franks Jenks here as great character actor, looks remarkably like William Talman, who was best known for his role as gravelly voiced Hamilton Burger in Perry Mason.
Best idea, the inventor only works at night😂 Cat and mouse chase in the dark, excellent fun!😊😅 This is one of my faves to come back to watch. Though a truly fun farce for the time, it was absolutely enjoyable Thank goodness for old time flash bulbs! Huge and bulky they come in handy at times😂
+Dave Showler Yes, no one quite like Iris Adrian - who also demonstrated heart in her portrayals. And she paused to listen; the actress in this kind of just snaps back. She was okay enough, but Iris, snapping gum, had it all.
OF COURSE THE PHOTOGRAPHERIN THIS MOVIE DOES'NT HAVE THE WHEREWITHALL TO PHOTOGRAPH THE DEAD BODY IN THE HOUSE OR IN THE CAR ! WHAT KIND OF PHOTOGRAPHER DOES'NT TAKE PHOTOS FOR EVIDENCE OF SOMEONE KILLED !
How about a satellite that can see an ant on the ground or an acoustic pulse that can blow you out of bed, acoustics is sound and sound goes through walls, hooked up to a van owned by a perp neighbor, driving by, easy peasy called targeting .
Jehosaphat was a Jewish premier (or whatever) the people nicknamed him because he was constantly changing his mind and JUMPING from one thing to another.
There are comedies that are more amusing than this one, but that is no reason to be ungrateful. As to her much debated hat: Has anyone ever seen NINOTCHKA (Ernst Lubitsch; with Melvyn Douglas) and the "hat" Moscow's communist commissar Greta Garbo can finally not resist to secretly buy in western "degenerated" Paris? And as to her equally much debated shoes: Here is a quote from Dire Straits' hugely successful song THE SULTANS OF SWING (1978): "Then a crowd a young boys they're a foolin' around in the corner drunk and dressed in their best brown baggies and their PLATFORM SOLES". These leg-breaking things had a revival in the nineties, if I remember correctly. After 25 years, I think, it's about time people consider their resurrection in the not too distant future. The orthopaedists of the world need new patients urgently.😉
Please tell Robin Raymond, the reporter, where to find me. I don't have a story for her, but I could make up something to keep her interested. *And no, we wouldn't need the photographer. Gee, all that and no dead bodies.
...if the fact had clicked in the reporter's head soon after he flashed the camera from the car at the killer...it might have made a short preview of the first 'tales of the unexpected'...or 'forensic detectives'...or...
I hate platforms and I hate wedgies. What looks really nice is the standard stiletto heel. Not great for walking long distances, but the look is terrific.
