The case takes a comic twist and turns before the whole thing is solved at the end of the flick! Mr Joslyn and Ms Keyes try to be like William Powell and Myra Loy-but they’re close -and Edgar Buchanan, Nina Foch,and shemp Howard and the others round out the cast in this comedy-mystery! Good one! ☝️ 🤣🤣🤣😳👀👍👁️❤️😃
A great forgotten B movie!!!
Thank you. So-so script made enjoyable by the leads - and by an excellent performance by Nina Foch, who is terrific in any role she undertakes.
She sure is!!!
Thank you for sharing this WW2 era film! Evelyn Keyes was so adorable 🌹
She sure was!
Kathyh4804, Allyn Joslyn is more adorable and she upstaged Evelyn Keyes.
Good movie! Very entertaining! Loved it!💖
A fun hidden gem!
Thank you for this WWII era stateside fun movie, big Evelyn Keyes fan. 😊
She is a forgotten gem!
@@ClassicRobbEvelynKeyesEvelyn will never be forgotten as long as fans like yourself post her movies. Thank you ❤
@@1949LA-ARCH You're welcome! That's our hope!
What a crazy fun flick. so many familiar faces. Uncle Joe from Green Acres made a good detective in this roll. Thank you
Fun film!
Uncle Joe was from Petticoat Junction
Thanks you for uploading this!
You're welcome!
This Joslyn, Evelyn Crime Dou kicks movie is better then the first one i witch, thanks Classic Robb's for putting them out and will look for more,11-23-23.
You're very welcome!
Shemp Howard is always great! 🎭
You caught him, huh?

Witty dialogue from all the cast, not just the main characters, women who are equally represented, not marginalized to the love or lust interest! So refreshing and fun!
Great post!
Shemp Howard (from the 3 Stooges) is the laundry guy.
Good catch!!!
Really?
Allyn Joslyn was known better as a comedic actor rather than a lead and Evelyn "dude....where's my car" Keyes is lovely....but this little gem, while fun, is off-note and hard to even make-believe.
A fun movie!
Начал смотреть. Забавный фильм и держит в напряжении. Спасибо. Ещё таких и побольше
I started watching. The movie is funny and keeps you on your toes. Thank you. More like this and more
ONe of the commercial breaks during this movie was for a new type of wall covering in place of sheet rock. The guy pitching the product, his name =no kidding - was Bäumler, and that's on the level.
Wow!
Evelyn Keyes was great in screwball mode, should've done more!
She is awesome!
They're playing diff named characters than in the other movie I just watched them. They had a machine like that in 1944, where his wife could leave him a voice message? Wow!!
Yes. Different characters.
It's so great to see Allyn Joslyn in a leading role.
A great character actor!
Who?😂
I love to see Nina Foch, always so stylish.
A Columbia star... ...that acted for half a century and was a sought after acting coach.
She was a yummy.
Great little movie
It sure is!

@@RiaLake Golden Age of Hollywood -- great B movie!!!
Yeah and you forgot that the women weren’t fat ,ugly and disheveled like they are now ,
What a fun little flick!
It sure is.
Why do drivers always think thwy are being followed just because the car behind happens to be going in the same direction.
Ha!
Evelyn " Goldie " Keyes most famous in a supporting role as an O" Hara sister in GWTW in 1939 . She was a 1940s Columbia leading lady .
Yup!
She married john Houston
@@bambinoandmore46 John Huston, her third husband. RIP Evelyn L Keyes
I could watch this soooooo many times, lo💜ed it soooo muchos...😅😳😍😊🇬🇧
Us too!!!
Hilarious, one of my best friends looked and talked just like Shemp Howard. What's crazy is he was one of 9 children and his Mom and Dad all of them looked and talked like Shemp. Only the oldest sister did not. And she completly avoided them . Was the only kid of the 9 to graduate H.S. but she was no fun to hang out with. Go figure.
Good story!
Excellent! Great timing in every scene! ☺
Glad you think so!
How long was Nina Foch's career? She's in a movie in 1944 and she was in SLIVER in 1993!!!!
I watch it everyday... ❤
Fantastic!
This was quite a movie!!! Really enjoyed it!!!
Wonderful!
Another kicks mystery with these 2 husband and wife mystery solvers, hope to find more with them in it and riding a cool Cushman motor scooter, that short roadster car maybe make it into the first midget lowrider, and her with her deadly father hat , love it, thanks CZcams
You're welcome!
Strange that "Classic Robb" neglected to inform you that Evelyn Keyes only made two husband and wife mystery solver movies with Allyn Joslyn...
Perhaps he actually just doesn't know!?
@@rosetucker489 No sequels, but Allyn Joslyn also made Dangerous Blondes and The Thrill of Brazil with Evelyn Keyes.
great
It sure is!
Never would have got Nick and Nora in a clowns circus car. Studio should have given them a chrysler at least.
B version of Nick & Nora...
thanks
Your're very welcome!
Nick and Nora were
more believable, natural. This was good but just a bit of overacting.
Nick & Nora can't be beat.
Sweet!! You don't know me I am not as strong as I look!
Quote?
lol shemp! great movie!
You caught him , huh?
GOOD
Good!!!
Sort of a take-off from The Thin Man series with William Powell and Myrna Loy.
Exactly!
2 mins nobody behaves like that with poor eye sight.
Hollywood magic!
As a regular watcher of old Hollywood, I have to say I find it difficult to appreciate comedies from this period. Evelyn Keyes was a fine actress, but that didn't stop me giving up on this film... Next...
She is always good!
wow
Wow!
can you upload before i hang 1940?
I wish. Copyright protected and it is on CZcams for Rent/Sale.
You might like this, but me, not so much, except for the last few minutes when Evelyn Keys fights off three policemen, and a detective, Here's the problem. Keyes doesn't have a good sense of comic timing. Allyn Joslyn, who plays the husband, is brilliant as a comedic actor, his timing is often perfection. It makes Keyes pale by comparison. Actually I like Keyes a lot as an actress, it's just that she really doesn't work too well in this. The writers have given her has some good comic props that help, the hat with the long feather and the silly little car which makes me think of Jaques Tati who always makes me laugh. She wiggles and moves too much in this film which is cute but not funny. She is an actress usually in control but, I suspect she thought wiggling was funny. A bit of restraint would have helped.
She's better in The Mating of Millie and Mr. Soft Touch.
The opening scene was played for laughs, but I fail to see the humor. A driver hitting a stationary object like a parked car, and nearly taking a guy's head off while driving around with the liftgate extended, is a firing offense.
The number of safety rules being broken would leave the laundry service with no defense whatsoever if that had gone to court.
Yup.
Is that Hugh Beaumont near the end?
Yes.
Was that one of the Stooges in that first scene?
Yes!
😮😮😮THE DOOR MAN!!????
Opens doors...
@@ClassicRobbEvelynKeyes Took me by surprise!!
More fun than Nick and Nora ("The Thin Man").
Close, but....
If more boring means more fun.
@@nedludd7622 To each is own.
That’s a tiny convertible
Made for Barbie!
None Yun, "Bill's tiny car is a 1931 American Austin roadster, manufactured in Butler, Pennsylvania. The original base price was $395 ($6,815 in 2021). It got 40 miles per gallon with its 747cc 4-cylinder engine and had a top speed of 50 miles per hour. Only about 8,000 of these cars were made as it was during the depths of the Depression and one could get much more car - and a faster one - for only $100 more from Ford. Manufacturing of this car ceased in 1932." imbd trivia

Excellent screwball comedy.
It sure is!

A great movie!!!
These people are obsessed with clothes and appearances. Even a shirt with a spilled cocktail on it is a crisis. Everything in this is superficial. Except for the nice two-seat car.
Exactly!!!
Their superficiality is deeper than you can understand.

You sure?
What's Ann Sothern got to do with it?
Bill, the jerk and Goldie, the jerkess. 😅😅😅😅😅
Ya think?
🔵ALLYN JOSLYN IS SO WITTY AND CUTE. SHE UPSTAGED EVELYN KEYES.🔴
No one upstages Evelyn Keyes!!!
All this Hollywood female jealousy gets tiresome
PS to my previous comment. in retrospect, the last 15 minutes were so ludicrous, not worth your time.
Really? A good B movie!
the last 15 minutes were just Stupid, capital S. and all the preceding minutes were not much better. cute and kind of funny from time to time. mostly not. i like evelyn keyes generally, but not when she's playing a nitwit. and allyn joslyn is always amusing, even in this one, most of the time,
Hit and miss, huh?
Yes, it went on and on with unfunny Evelyn Keyes's act. She ain't Vincent Price for sure!
This Joslyn, Evelyn Crime Dou kicks movie is better then the first one i witch, thanks Classic Robb's for putting them out and will look for more,11-23-23.
