bob hope and dorothy lamour star in this tired comedy . hope be a photographer who specialize in baby picture but really want to be a private detective like his hero down the hall and sam mccloud ( a cameo by alan ladd ) . one day when mccloud be out of the office and hope happens to be there when dorothy lamour slip in and and mistake him for mccloud and hire him to unravel a mystery . this be just one more of hope mistake identity comedy and and not a particularly good one . the writing be weak and elliott nugent direction be flat and the support cast other than peter lorre and lon chaney jr. isn not really up to par and and for some reason hope and lamour do not seem to have any chemistry at all . on top of that and the picture just look cheap and like a late bowery boy movie from monogram . hope and lamour make much good picture than this . it not really worth your time .
