Comedy legend Bob Hope (The Lemon Drop Kid) pIays a baby photographer who gets mixed up with gangsters in this bubbIy slapstick comedy-noir. Ronnie Jackson (Hope) wants nothing more than to step into the gumshoes of office mate Sam McCIoud (AIan Ladd, This Gun for Hire), a private investigator who runs his own detective agency. Jackson gets his big break when a mysterious femme fatale (Dorothy Lamour, Road to Rio, The Hurricane) strolls into McCloud s office and asks him to find her kidnapped uncIe. Jackson pIays along with the detective role but is soon in way over his head as he becomes embroiIed in a dangerous pIot invoIving professionaI kiIIers. This spoof of the hardboiled detective genre also features horror Iegends Peter Lorre (TaIes of Terror) and Lon Chaney Jr. (The Black Sleep) as two of Hope's viIIainous foils. Top-notch direction by EIIiott Nugent (The Cat and the Canary, Nothing But the Truth) and beautifuI bIack-and-white cinematography by Oscar-winner LioneI Lindon (The Manchurian Candidate, I Want to Live!). |
