Donald Meeks was always hilarious. Great cast and very enjoyable movie ... Thanks for sharing!

[@TheSprocketVault]

Our pleasure!

[@fueledbylove]

Donald wasn't a plural, he was just Meek.

[@quintonpriest]

@@fueledbylove ok . thanks for catching my mistake

[@checkeredflagfilms]

This is an underrated film. I thought it was hilarious, great comedic dialogue and timing!

[@GB-dw3fo]

Victor Mature’s first film credit on his way to becoming one of Hollywood’s Leading Men. I’ll have to check out his other movies with Hal Roach Studios made after this one to see if they are as enjoyable as this movie! Great ensemble cast and terrific screenwriting.

[@jitkasuarez]

First time seeing Mature, and hearing his name, even. But he sure is dreamy! I definitely noticed him

[@miasalazar1980]

This was a delightful movie with excellent acting. I rate this movie a golden 10.

I see a little aluminum coffee pot like I used to have. Today we have today we have a Kourig coffee maker. Things have certainly changed a lot since this movie was made. They had never heard of cell phones. 😅😅😅😅

Cutest movie!! Thanks for posting🎉

Any time!

[@annepoitrineau5650]

With a very young Victor Mature thrown into the mix.

[@deerhoda7574]

Victor Mature sure was a honey😊 Good fun movie. Second time I've seen "the Runt" as a bad guy.

[@SailorChic]

The best show I have seen in forever!!

[@TheSpiralnotebook]

Hal Roach also made Turnabout a year later with a lot of the same performers, including Gargan, Menju, Donald Meeks, and Hubbard. Check it out.

[@1coppertop]

Good one

There is a murder of a gangster.his girlfriend ( Joan Bennett) goes to stay with her mother.the mother is the housekeeper of an upper-class family with an attractive son (John Hubbard) the gangster’s gang follows the girlfriend and the police 👮 pursue the gang-the summary sounds like a nursery rhyme-but that’s the story! Ms Bennett looks pretty in this movie-adolphe menjou and William gargan take up the slack as newspaper reporters in this comedy/crime flick! 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

???? There's already a film description. Now spread out.

Hope to see more in the future from that actor with a smaller part in this flick, Victor Mature. Hope he has a great career in the motion pictures.

[@90FF1]

Great stars and great supporting cast. Good comedy. Don Meeks is always LOL. Thanks SV

[@isotopefeeney]

19:26 The absolute stolid impassivity with which the 2 newspaperguys receive Our Hero's prattling says so much more than any dialog could have done. Comic Genius!! Some of the older vintage guys (like Hal Roach) who started in silent films remembered that not EVERYTHING had to be conveyed in words. Another example: I THINK the sculpture you can see in the background at 39:26 is Cain clobbering Abel --- an editorial comment on the relationship between the 'brothers' of the press. Just sayin'

[@stevef9530]

[@markantrobus8782]

Excellent movie - very hip - because of the players and sharp direction. Moves right along. Is that Victor Mature as Lefty?

[@glennstenbergkvist5971]

A pleasant but thin picture, more interesting for the grand array of famous acting talent on hand, but unfortunately, even with Hal Roach at the helm they can't make a better picture like it should have been out of a so-so script.

[@blancatirado576]

Great classic movie…

[@mattfantastic9969]

Movies were so much slower paced back then... It's kind of nice

[@sleepyheadsleeps]

John Hubbard bears a striking resemblance to Ray Milland

Victor Mature in one of his early roles. He was sexy.

It's funny to see the old fashioned telephone in this movie. Now days everyone has a cellphone. 😅😅😅

What did you expect in 1939? Anyway, your stupid cellphone is going to look old-fashioned to your grandkids.

A tad bit slow but amusing nonetheless

@@fredneecher1746 There is nothing philistine about my comment. I do enjoy movies from the 1940s - 1960s. This particular one had no interesting story line or acting.
