Lovely film, thank you. It’s wonderful that over 76 years later we are still being entertained watching their film! Adele Mara died in 2010 and Warren Douglas in 1997.

Nice flick from the days when the Fox, or Paramount, theater showed a short before the main feature. Thanks CCC.

Intriguing movie. Virginia Christine played Mrs. Olson, I believe it was Folgers coffee commercials, in the late 1960s-1970s. Mesa, AZ May 8, 2023

I love William "Bill" Frawley. He was in a bunch of these movies before "I Love Lucy". When I saw him in this movie, I knew I had to watch it.

[@patrickryan1515]

Who couldn't like this movie. All the details fit so neatly as the plot moved along at a very charming clip. Better than a lot of 'A' movies.

Enjoyable film. I was surprised to see William Frawley as Det. Lt. Webb. I can remember him on I Love Lucy and My Three Sons. Thanks for posting and be safe 🙏

[@michaelfitzgerald3467]

My Three Sons was William Demarest, another memorable character actor with a gruff persona, craggy face and voice to match.

[@galeschool]

@@michaelfitzgerald3467 Actually, Mike Curtis is correct. My Three Sons began with William Frawley in the cast. Frawley was later replaced by Demarest due to declining health.

[@mchapman1928]

Bill Frawley was on My Three Sons from 1960-1965, he retired from show business in 1965 due to poor health. He died in 1966. He was in Vaudeville, and had several roles on Broadway and was a very successful movie actor well before the I Love Lucy show as Fred Mertz. He made 117 movies. His career was from 1914 to 1965.

[@pasta4me786]

Thank you! Loved this old film!

[@aadamtx]

Not a bad little B flick. Will Wright was one of the more recognizable faces here, along with Frawley and Cortez. But the script itself had some nice twists and turns along the way, and just enough humor to keep things humming.

[@jacquelinejanz8466]

I have always enjoyed Cortez

kinda cute, in its peculiar and particular way. William Frawley is always fun and provided the best acting, which is himself as himself. it says in the heading film noir parody, and is pretty good in its intention.

No need to be condescending about the subtitle writing. Have you bothered to research just how that is done and the impossible circumstances of doing it? And, right away you want a remake. Why bother watching.
