for fans of 40's detectives

+ "Somebody's always screaming around this flophouse."
+ Classic B Movie Comedy/Murder Mystery

This is a movie for those of us who loved curling up with a good old murder mystery on a rainy Saturday afternoon long ago. Unfortunately this is the only Michael Shayne that I can find in print. I don't know why because it is much better than most of the later Charlie Chans that you can buy in an ...

Do you like Keenan Wynn?

+ "That's an old saying I just made up."
+ Nick and Nora Charles stroll off arm-in-arm into the distance. We'll miss them

A must have if you already own the other Thin Man movies and are a fan of William Powell and Myrna Loy. Keenan Wynn is the treat in this movie. Without his performance the movie would not hold up. What a great actor he was. In my opinion he steals the show.
