LONE WOLF, THE - IN LONDON(1947)
Third and last time for Gerald Mohr as the intrepid
Lone Wolf! And the last one for Eric Blore as Jamison
A scheming woman, several stupid men, and Lanyard
and his man caught in the middle! All over a couple
of jewels! A-
A review from IMDb.com:
Whatever actor played The Lone Wolf be it
Melvyn Douglas, Warren William, Ron Randell
or in this case Gerald Mohr, he cannot escape
his reputation as a thief. No amount of good
deeds done seems to prove this guy is no longer
on the dark side.
Case in point while visiting London, Scotland
Yard suspects Mohr of stealing those two
matching diamonds, the Stars of the Nile.
We know the butler didn't do it, he had them
but Tom Stevenson was murdered and The Lone
Wolf is implicated in that as well even though
Scotland Yard was shadowing him. Not to mention
the beautiful musical comedy star Evelyn Ankers
and her maid Queenie Leonard as Ankers has her
producer Alan Napier under her thumb. Never
mind it all gets straightened out in the end.
The Lone Wolf In London saw the farewell
appearance of Eric Blore as Michael Lanyard's
invaluable valet Jameson. Blore really added
something to this series, in many ways he kept
his wits about him even better than his boss.
Note the palming off of a jewel case back and
forth right under the nose of the Scotland
Yard cops who are searching both of them in
broad daylight. Sheer genius.
This was a nice passable B film that did no
harm to the reputations of its cast. - bkoganbing
