My Favorite Brunette

While looking after his detective neighbor's office, baby photographer Ronnie Jackson's (Bob Hope) dream of being a private eye lands him on death row, in this laugh-a-minute spoof. Hired by lovely Carlotta Montay (Dorothy Lamour) to track down her missing uncle, Ronnie tangles with some crooks (Charles Dingle, Lon Chaney, Jr., Peter Lorre) and winds up framed for murder. 87 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English.
