At 20:25, there is some serious product placement with Butterfingers and Baby Ruth candy on counter of general store. Also, Hunt's ketchup, Kool and Camel cigarettes, and Lipton Tea. Very nostalgic 💛 Woman undercover detective and pilot; awesome! Thank you, PizzaFlix! 💝

Have you seen the commercial with the guy who plays Adolf Mussolini? The actor in the commercial is one of my friends. I think the commercial was too funny for the PC society in which we live today, it was made about 15 years ago... I wish I made a copy....
@guesswho51224 жыл бұрын
@Krinkle Hill If I were that actor I would have a copy myself. Why not ask that friend of yours? But we will always have both of them in Chaplin's The Great Dictator, when Adolf prepares the scene for his guest from bella Italia and Benito frustrates it all. As to the PC ideologists: A figure named e.g. Mao Marx would undoubtedly not be objectionable, provided, of course, he is presented as a harmless and most likable guy - just like these two gentlemen, in the formers' minds, were in reality.

This is a humdinger of a film. Makes me wish it had a few sequels or even became a serial. That dame should be an inspiration for current female law enforcement agents. Quick on her feet. I love the location of the shoot. I doubt it was a studio set. But I could be wrong, Hollywood was getting pretty sophisticated by the time of this film. To bad the celluloid started deteriorating by the time it was transferred but I'll watch these great movies any way I can get 'em. Thanks again Pizza Flix, hope I don't sound like a broken record as I seem to be repeating myself quite often during this SARS-COV2 era. You've become quite a necessary addition to my routine. Take care.

They had women police officers then but not female federal agents. Still a good movie. Sadly, Blanche Mehaffey’s film 🎞 career ended soon after this and she died of an overdose at 59. Today, she is mostly forgotten and only a footnote in movie 🎥 history. Flo Ziegfeld once said she had “the most beautiful eyes 👀 in the world.”
