Featured review
Amateur detective William 'Junior' Scott, Jr. And his negro sidekick Abraham Jones struggle to find other kinds of work. His boss is not happy with his work and fires him. Josie and her father are on the run after a big diamond heist. Josie is concerned about Junior's detailed observations about everyone and decides to get close to him.
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.
