Synopsis:
Johnnie is a would-be songwriter; Newton is a would-be inventor. Both work at a cigar stand in the lobby of an office building. Johnnie wants to sell a song to Winfield Lake, a song publisher and the owner of the building. Lake's secretary, Mary, is Johnnie's sweetheart. When Lake turns up dead, circumstances conspire to make Mary and Newton think that Johnnie is the killer. They conspire again to implicate Mary, who goes to jail. But who really shot Lake? Who is the Black Widow, the blackmailer who had threatened him? The other characters in this wacky murder mystery are: Lake's suspicious wife, a self-satisfied private detective, a seemingly slow-witted janitor, Lake's auditor, a songwriter who thinks Lake is stealing from him and another who thinks everyone is stealing from him. It's up to Newton and his truth machine to reveal the real killer.
Reviews:
Wheeler & Woolsey are cigar-stand clerks who have to help solve a rash of murders by the mysterious "Black Widow" when Bert's girlfriend is falsely accused of murdering her boss. There are a couple of cute songs, a lot of slapstick, and plenty of that Wheeler & Woolsey (nit)wit that we all love so much (or should). Plus, we get the added bonus of Betty Grable playing the girlfriend, and she's cute as a button and very entertaining. And Willie Best adds his comedic genius to the pot along with a large group of other funny black actors who all wind up in a glorious chase scene as the finale of the film. George Stevens directed this one before he hit the bigtime. In fact, it seems that this was the boost his career needed. You can feel his contributions all over the film as it doesn't follow the traditional W&W formula so closely. It's different but just as much fun. There are some inspired gags, like the recurring use of a truth-telling device that Woolsey invents. And that chase ends the film on a high note, not a single chase gag left unused. All-in-all it's one of the better W&W comedies. It may not have as many laugh-out-loud moments as the best of them, but it is consistently cute and smile-inducing all the same.

    Konstantin Veliki i Križ - povijesni spektakl iz 1961. Hvala na ovom biografskom filmu o Konstantinu Velikom. Rim, period između 293. i 312. godine poslije Krista. Utjecaj Kršćana sve je jači. Kršćanin se ne boji smrti, poučen učenjima svog velikog spasitelja Isusa Krista, smrt je za njega novi život, premda su kazne za Kršćane u Rimu bile vrlo surove - živi ljudi bili bi bačeni gladnim lavovima. Konstantin Veliki u vrijeme vladavine Dioklecijana, rimskog kralja (Gaj Aurelije Valerije Dioklecijan) sve više uviđa nepravdu i surovost Rima prema onima koji mu se suprostavljaju i oslobađa kršćanske robove od sigurne smrti u areni. S vremenom sam Konstantin staje na stranu Kršćana i bori se za pravdu i jednakost među ljudima. Sve kulminira građanskim ratom unutar samog Rima. Konstantin sakuplja brojnu vojnu formaciju i kreće protiv samog Rima kako bi se suprotstavio samoproglašenom kralju Maksenciju, vladaru cijele Italije i Afrike. Na putu u Rim, Konstantin je doživio mistično iskustvo ugledavši na nebu, iznad sunca, svijetli križ s natpisom ''Pobjeđuj ovime''! Stavivši Kristov monogram na štitove vlastite vojske, Konstantin je postao Kršćanin, vjeran Bogu, te porazio Maksencija. Građani Rima proglasili su ga ''Konstantin Veliki''.

    Had Mary lived, she was going to attend Wellesley College. She had been accepted. The obituary written by her father was beautiful. There is a lot of information online about the father, Mary, and the brother. The father and brother were Republicans. There is the Peter Pan Park in Emporia. The father donated the land for the park. There is a bust of the father and plaques telling Mary's story.

    The black and white era of movies made it such that it added to the atmosphere of the movie whether it be a film noir/crime or a very sad story as well as the nuances and lighting made its impact. Two very good actors - Sophia became an icon as for Anthony I believe never got the status he deserved. He always had a strong presence on screen and had an attractive demeanour about him. Both talented and represented their characters extremely well in a time where simple stories became poignant by their acting. Thank you for this as I don't recall seeing this one before.
