eliZASUsan combo name from two female relatives

[@robertwalker5521]

Wouldn't you like to see those two in an x-rated love scene?

[@MrCraigblaze]

Thanks for the upload !! I love old movies like these !!

[@vadaharris6495]

This was a real who-dun-it! Great mystery movie! I enjoyed Eugene Palette as a smart detective, instead of the clueless detective he usually played next to Philo Vance and others!

[@SKILLED521]

Yahoo for Zazu!

[@Yippekiyeah]

What a hoot! Really enjoyed this movie, it just plodded along and then all the pieces (or bodies) fit.😂 And yes, it's always fun to see Zazu Potts and Eugene Paulette. Thanks.😊

[@Yippekiyeah]

...darn computer--Zazu Pitts, not Potts!

[@wendybutler1681]

Pitts and Pallette. I'm in heaven!

[@RobertJonesWightpaint]

Ah, the great Eugene Pallette - wonderful pairing with the other players: and a voice like no one else ever had.

Even back in 1932, people didn’t want to do jury duty! 😅😅lolol

[@marlene-rr2ih]

good!

[@ryanellis4474]

Was it on purpose when the top policeman (the chief?) mixed up the words "bed" and "basement" when questioning the lovestruck, hobo-helper lady? That was very subtle and clever if it was done on purpose.

[@patrickturner2788]

Zasu Pitts is the headliner of this movie she got top billing but only appears for 10 minutes in the whole movie. Strange.

[@Ourladyrules]

no its not

[@gabbysch2625]

Obviously; she had an excellent agent.

[@wendybutler1681]

Ms. Pitts was a big deal. My mom, born in 1920, talked about her and what a favorite she had been. My dad always filled me in on the histories of the femme fatales we would see doing guest sopts on late 60s-80s TV shows. He once rested his elbow on the stage where Mitzi Gaynor was performing about 11 feet away. Kinda surprised he ever washed it again.

[@denniscarroll7696]

Nowadays we have security cameras.

[@shelleymcafee8197]

I really enjoy Zasu; she must have been quite a card, in person!

[@zanti209]

ZaZu Pitts was a funny gal. But she don't look too happy with her "catch" in the poster. Maybe the other guy will dump the blonde, and she'll trade-up to a beau that will put a smile on her face. 😉

[@ryanellis4474]

What did the letter in the pocket signify? This film has so many currently-defunct accents. What a sad loss of American culture… I ADORE the opening title font. This was written and shot better in a lot of ways than many modern films.

[@653j521]

Which currently defunct accents?

[@ryanellis4474]

​@@653j521 - You hear all those accents today?

It gave the address he found Tommy at.

[@williamdobkowski6101]

A very modest comedy/mystery B movie populated by silent and early 1930s character actors. An amusing antique; a tighter script would have helped but enjoyable.

[@LollieVox]

Uh yeah that’s the ticket

[@nickweech3487]

Crazy comedy must hv been fun working with Mr Humberstone 🤔 Known as "Lucky" ; on wiki this not mentioned ... He did the whole range of genres. Less than 1K likes from 60K views and comments here aren't all positive. To a few it's a real find tx for upload/preservation/ cast & crew. The reviews on IMDB mostly condescending at best, seems not many (there) liked it ...

I do!

It's called diction, I think. Us modern folk don't talk so gud enymore.
