FRECKLES COMES HOME(1942)

A pretty bad copy of this!

There's a bank robbery and a bank messenger gets killed!
Hilarious so far, huh!??! He makes a get-a-way and winds
up in a small town that a guy on a bus tells him about!
Anyway, guy on the bus' friend who runs the hotel in the
town and the killer and the dude all get embroiled together,
and soon they're in over their heads! This has Mantan
Moreland in it, who was in 15 Charlie Chan movies! C+

From a reviewer at IMDb.com:

Freckles Comes Home (Jean Yarbrough, 1942) So I have
about three of those multi-disc DVD box sets of dozens
of public domain films (one each for comedy, horror,
and sci-fi). Every so often I like to dip into them
to see if I can find some hidden gems.

Yeah, that really didn't happen this time.

This is one of those films set in a small town where
a crime occurs and nobody believes the main character
for most of the runtime, even though he's the only
one who's talking any kind of sense at all. He also
has a would-be girlfriend who misinterprets the fact
that he has a question to ask her and thinks he's going
to propose, then when he doesn't propose she blows up
and declares she doesn't want to see him ever again.
He also has a sidekick, and apparently they were big-time
troublemakers in the town when they were kids, but
nothing about the actual performances suggests they
could have been (or that they could have had distinct
personalities, for that matter).

There are a few mild (very mild) laughs here and there,
but nothing to write home about, as the saying goes.
If you have an hour to kill, maybe take a look. At
least it helps me appreciate comedy films that are
actually good. 4/10 - jason-m-cook
