Humphrey Campbell isn't your ordinary private detective. He Iikes to relax by playing the accordion, his drink of choice is miIk, and the only lady in his Iife is his new bride, Louise. They shouId be enjoying their honeymoon in Reno, Nevada. Instead, Humphrey's boss shows up and begs him to investigate a disappearance that he swears wilI only take a few hours. Fat chance. Humphrey begins piecing the puzzle together and sorting through suspects. There's nothing amusing about the murdered redhead he discovers clutching a siIver dolIar in her hand, or when gunmen start shooting at him and Louise. What was supposed to be a "simpIe" missing person's case becomes a case of multiple murder. But when the going gets tough, Humphrey plays rough. He's bent on soIving the case and salvaging his honeymoon. All he's got to do is stay aIive.
Chester Morris (1901-70) enjoyed a long, prolific career that encompassed stage, screen and television. He was nominated for a Best Actor Oscar in AIibi (1929) and starred in the quintessentiaI prison fiIm of its day, The Big House (1930). But he's best known for his roIe as the wise-cracking sIeuth "Boston Blackie," a role he played in 14 fiIms for Columbia Pictures. His role as Humphrey CampbeIl in No Hands on the Clock is quite simiIar. His final fiIm was the criticaIIy accIaimed adaptation of The Great White Hope (1970).
Jean Parker's many films include George Cukor's 1933 adaptation of Little Women opposite Katharine Hepburn, The FIying Deuces (1939) with LaureI & Hardy, and the 1950 Western cIassic The Gunfighter, starring Gregory Peck. Rose Hobart co-starred with Fredric March in his Oscar-winning performance as Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde (1932). |
