Stars: Chester Morris, Jean Parker, Rose Hobart
Director: Frank McDonald
The first of three Pine-Thomas productions for Chester Morris finds him as wise-cracking private detective Humphrey Campbell who impresses his boss, Oscar Flack, no end by not only finding a missing girl but also marrying her in the process. So Flack sends him to celebrate his honeymoon in the Divorce Capital of the world, Reno, Nevada, to find a missing man. Along the way, in a mixture of big city crime and old-west settings, Humphrey encounters a large assortment of suspicious characters, all of whom are also suspicious of the others. A comedy that also includes some killings along the way.

Actors in Hollywood at the time were groomed, in dressing, talking, walking, moving about by experts. What you see in a movie is an idealization of how people should be and behave, but not the actual general population's behavior.

People get on KZfaq and make dumb comments about what they know nothing about that happened 90 years ago or a million years ago. Think about it, maybe wealthy and talented people invented recording devices and made films with family members. Hollywood was an orange grove at that time. People today push agendas to cover up crimes, to the point that it gets obvious.

It is painful to watch Keye Luke play this particularly dumbed-down 'Oriental' character. In real life he was a professionally trained commercial artist of much note, and he produced a lot of the artwork and set designs used in the making of these, and other movies; like the wanted posters or the family member oil portraits. As well as being a tremendous talent in many arenas, he was well known as being hard working, a gentleman, well respected, and liked by all.

No class whatsoever , The leggings are so stupid looking so tight, and fat hangs out just everywhere, I think the classy fashions of that day should return, although some of those hats were pretty weird, hats are nice if they werent quite so flashy , the ones with the high feathers, or the ones that look like a box on your head.😃 I find some nice items in upper class stores but you have to really look.

Directors, cinematographers, costumes, lighting, sound producers and all support make good acting.. end result is a good movie. i'm so sick of reading B movie ratubg.. I've seen 1000's of movies and even the supporting casts can't be reproduced today.. the 70's actors would have been so much better in classic black and white and direction.
