Featured review
later, weaker chapter in the Boston Blackie series
The first film that Seymour Friedman directed, according to wikipedia. Blackie and his sidekick the runt agree to help at a dinner party for friend Doris (June Vincent). They will keep an eye out for thieves, and of course, all hell breaks loose while they are on scene. Chester Morris was Boston Blackie in numerous films prior to this, but would only play it one more time after this. For some reason, Blackie and runt dress up as Doris' parents, with Runt in drag. Over the river and and through the woods for this one... although its only 67 minutes. Something about stolen pearls at the dinner party, and the pearls keep changing locations. Gets confusing...pretty much everyone in the film gets accused of being the thief at some point, except for the cops. And as usual, the cops are a couple of goofballs, insulting each other. Not the best chapter in the Blackie series, but if its the only thing on, one might watch it. I guess they were running out of strong story lines by this time.
