Catangro After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

Casey Duggan It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

Yash Wade Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

grantch I can but conclude that complaints that Pam North is more Gracie Allen than the Lockridge character, were not originated by fans of the long-running radio show in which zany Pam, played so strongly by the delightful Alice Frost, over rode any interference by husband Jerry, admirably portrayed as good-natured and long suffering by Joseph Curtin, and the NYPD to solve the weekly murder(s) Mr. and Mrs. North encountered regularly. Today such a series would be laughed off the air, but back in the '40's and early '50's everyone turned on their radio to see if they could beat Pam to the solution of the crime.Compared to the colorful and humorous radio show, the subsequent TV adaption with Barbara Britton and Richard Denning was OK, but not nearly as much fun.If you don't take the Lockridge characters too seriously, you'll love Gracie Allen and William Post Jr. in this 1942 adaptation of a Broadway play.

MartinHafer Mr. and Mrs. North discover a body and the rest of the film consists of them trying to convince others they had nothing to do with it as well as to help discover the murderer. During this time, Mrs. North (Gracie Allen) acts like an annoying dingbat.This is a decent little mystery film in the same tradition as the Thin Man films and the writing is pretty good, However, I am amazed by the odd casting job and wish IMDb could clue us in to why this was done. For the one and only time, Gracie Allen appears without her husband George Burns. Instead, some no-name actor (William Post Jr.) plays her husband and Gracie essentially plays the same character she played with George. This is pretty weird and the chemistry doesn't quite work because of this. You just keep expecting George to come stepping onto the screen.Overall, it's an odd little curio that's a decent time-passer but not a lot more.

edwagreen Very poor film starring Gracie Allen without her beloved George Burns. With Burns not in this nonsensical film, the film was destined to be a complete flop.How could a suave savvy Mr. North ever be married to the ridiculous Allen? Her antics with Burns always worked because the two had that comic flair. William Post, Jr., who plays North, is the direct opposite of a Burns and it shows rapidly in this film.The plot is utterly confusing. Is Gracie actually helping a married woman having an affair?Millard Mitchell plays a comical detective here and there is a funny stint by Felix Bressart, a Fuller-Brush salesman, who tries to give information to the police but is literally brushed aside.Someone needed to do a real thorough cleaning of this utter mess.

Peter22060 Although Gracie Allen outdid herself in the Gracie Allen Murder Case, this film has Gracie solving the mystery in her own inimitable fashion. Her conclusions, as only she can reach them.
