HERE COMES TROUBLE(1948)
Another really short film at 49 minutes! A young man
comes back from the service to be promoted to Police
Reporter, a job that has the life span of about 2 days!
The town's full of racketeers and they don't want any
interference! B-
From a reviewer at IMDb.com:
William Tracy played Sergeant Doubleday in a cute
series of films made during both WWII and the Korean
War. I especially liked TANKS A MILLION, though they
were all very good for B-pictures with very modest
budgets. In this case, though, the war is over and
Doubleday and his annoying friend, Sergeant Ames
have found domestic jobs--Doubleday as a crime
reporter and Ames as a cop. The only reason Doubleday
got the job is that his future father-in-law hates
him and wants to either see him get beaten up or
chased away by local mobsters. Ames is, quite
frankly, an idiot and makes a real mess of it as
a cop. Both men work together at times to try to
uncover who the mob leaders are, but almost get
themselves killed in the process. There is a lot
of slapstick, but apart from the overlong ending,
it is handled expertly and the film is quite
engaging. In fact, if the end hadn't just degenerated
into a way too long fight sequence, the film could
have easily earned a score of 8. Likable characters,
good writing and a breezy script make this a fun
little film that is well worth seeing. - MartinHafer
