VHS Movie Reviews of Abbott & Costello: Who Done It [VHS]
Movie Review: A Comedy about Murder on Radio
Summary: 3 Stars
Colonel J.R. Andrews is head of a radio broadcasting company. A new writer is hired for a murder mystery show. Chick and Mervin are working in a drugstore, and put on their comic skits. The film shows how a radio mystery show is produced. But Colonel Andrews is murdered by a clever plot. There is another skit on the use of words that sound alike. [The jokes show the attitudes of those days.] Can life imitate art? Misunderstandings provide comedy. Strange events cause Mervin to look for clues in a closet; he finds something that doesn't belong there. "Which way did they go?" Is there a secret in Colonel Andrews' office? Is the murderer after this secret?
There is confusion in the dark. The elevator is manually controlled. Could a plain language code be used on radio? [Yes.] The acrobats show their skills. Who will win the prize? Is the line busy? "What are we doing to do?" We see a portable radio from that era (tubes and big batteries). Some of the jokes seem old and dated. Can a radio broadcast solve the murders? Will a surprise cause a confession? There is a comic chase to end the story.
This film lacks the songs and dances of earlier films. There is a reference to the war, and the events of those days. Did you recognize that foreign language?
