WHAT A MAN! – 1944
This mystery-comedy by low rent MONOGRAM STUDIOS is neither a mystery, nor a comedy.
The leads are played by Johnny Downs and the pretty Wanda McKay. The tale follows office flunky Downs as he gets mixed up with Miss McKay. Downs mistakes McKay for a mobster's girl who is on the run. Then said mobster is killed in a drive by in front of his house.
There is not a bit of bang for the buck in this tired story. Is McKay a gangster's moll, or is she mixed up in something else. Robert Kent stars as the loud-mouthed heel in a suit, who, is always pulling gags on Downs.
I cannot really add more here other than to agree with the other reviewer, (blanche-2) about this dull film. Though it only has a runtime of 64 minutes, it sure seemed much longer.
Long time B film actress, Wanda McKay, was married to Oscar winning songwriter and actor, Hoagy Carmichael.
This is another less than stellar film from director, William "One Shot" Beaudine.
