I don't know much about this movie and I'm a little surprised by the low rating. It's an early talkie from RKO and it starts off alright. I like the premise of this amateur sleuth who happens upon a murder mystery. I like that he's a little clueless but he gets way too clueless. I don't like that he gets angry with Josie and he's doing too many geewhiz. I really don't like that he is so trusting of Wilkie. I want him to be a little behind and looking to solve the case. I don't want him to be a complete idiot and be alone with Wilkie in the middle of the night.
