Second Attempt To Duplicate Thin Man
16 May 2020
Warning: Spoilers
Keyes and Joselyn are reunited from 1943's Dangerous Blondes but the results are about the same though this script might just be a little worse. This time Joselyn is a Cartoonist trying to become a Detective. Nina Foche is here to distract him, and Keyes is his devoted wife who in this case is always expected to save her man. Edgar Bucanan is a detective with the police, is his role is kind of small and wasted. Shemp Howard does some very poor comic relief as a Laundry guy who is in need of a calculator. It's like they just threw in his routine to give him something to do, because once he is in the film he has 2 scenes and then is poof-gone.

Best thing about this one is watching the police pick up Keyes whose trying to save her husband from some desperate b movie criminals who are plotting to steal intelligence for some evil purposes. The wrestling match of Keyes with 3 policemen is the highlight of the movie. She is really quite a hand full and this sequence is better than the cat fight in Dangerous Blondes.
