LONE WOLF, THE - NOTORIOUS(1946)
A new man in the role of the Lone Wolf - Gerald Mohr!
This is quite a step down from Warren William! Eric
Blore returns!!
The movie itself is just kind of lackluster with Blore
not being given his usual over-the-top humor to do!
All-in-all not a bad movie, but not up to the previous
outings with Warren! B
A review from IMDb.com:
This Lone Wolf entry introduces Gerald Mohr in the
title role... and that's part of the problem. It
labors for so long to set up that "this new guy" is
the Lone Wolf that it takes a while for the plot to
kick in -- it's like they felt they had to convince
us that Mohr really is the Wolf, honest! Forget about
that Warren William guy! So the first ten to fifteen
minutes(more like 30!!! RP) are rather slow. And
Mohr is no Warren William. But he's competent enough
and once the story gets going, it's amiable and breezy
and fun. All about -- of course -- a stolen gem and
the Wolf's attempts to find the real thief (he's
blamed, as always). So it's not as good as some of
the earlier Warren William Wolfs, but it's not bad,
either. Moves along a quick clip and wraps it all
up neatly, with some good fun as Mohr and sidekick
Blore pretend to be Arab Royalty as they try to find
the lost gem. - dcole-2
