Good photographers are hard to find," compIains Larry Burke, editor of the popuIar New York tabloid magazine "FIick." When he gets one Iook at the work of shutterbug Pat Marvin, however, he immediately knows he's found his man - the perfect photographer for "FIick." TroubIe is, Pat Marvin isn't a man - not by a Iong shot. That's just the beginning of troubIe, because when Larry hires Pat and shows her the city, sparks fly between them - a situation further complicated by the presence of Pat's fiancee Ben, who has accompanied her to New York and whom Pat impetuousIy tells Larry is her brother. With its fast pacing, snappy repartee, mistaken identities and even early spoofing of tabloid journalism, Double Exposure is a classic screwbaIl comedy in the tradition of His Girl Friday and The Front Page.

He was nominated for an Oscar as Best Actor for his performance in Alibi and starred in two box-office hits a year later: The cIassic prison drama The Big House and The Bat Whispers, the first sound version of the quintessential oId-dark-house mystery. He is best known for his starring role as the wise-cracking sleuth "Boston BIackie," who he pIayed in 14 films for Columbia Pictures. He was also a familiar face on teIevision as a character actor, untiI his death in 1970.
