Featured review
Camp
Where Is Jane Doe? (1956)
** (out of 4)
RKO-Pathe short has the NYPD finding some clothes on a bridge so they naturally think they're dealing with suicide. A detective from the Missing Persons Bureau begins to investigate and finds that there might be more to the story. This crime short is a long way from MGM's wonderful "Crime Does Not Pay" series. Even though this film runs under 9-minutes you can't help but feel the story is rushed to the point where you just have to roll your eyes. There are countless silly scenes here including the detective pretty much breaking the case when it turns out the victim was too ugly to be doing what she wanted. The entire film is silent with just the narration telling us what we can see with our own eyes and some of the written dialogue is just downright silly. Fans of camp will probably get a few laughs out of this thing though.
