Who Done It? (1942)
7/10
Business as usual - and the business is good
15 June 2021
Mervyn and Chick, currently working as 'soda jerks' have one ambition - to be writers. When the head of a New York radio station is mysteriously murdered, the boys find themselves participating in a real life drama.

I love radio-based mysteries, integrate that into a A & C farce and I'm well happy. It's the usual fun and games with Lou and Abbott getting chased by inept policemen, who really supposed to be trying to find the killer. The slapstick comes thick and fast, so do the gags. It can be less on mystery and repetitive with the policemen chasing our hapless heroes- but the finale rounds up things well; the sequence on top of roof is a gem in itself.
