I am surprised that this film has not been commercially released on video. This film gives us Bob Hope in his earlier film career in a funny but sincere role. This is the first of a couple of films starring both Bob Hope and Paulette Goddard in a mystery/comedy environment. Paulette Goddard is charming and the pair play off each other well. The moods created by the settings are terrific . The film succeeds in providing us with a mystery to solve while keeping us laughing. Solid entertainment if you like old mysteries or are a fan of Bob Hope.
