LONE WOLF, THE - SPY HUNT(1939)
This is a great movie! After induring the previous
movie(The Lone Wolf In Paris), this was a breath of
fresh air and a greaat little who-dun-it! All the
particulars do a great job with thier roles and I
highly recommend this movie! A
From IMDb.com:
Don't let a couple of previous negative comments
about this film put you off from watching it the
next time it appears on TCM. If you like stylish
and witty mystery-comedies from the old days, then
THE LONE WOLF SPY HUNT is definitely for you.
Warren William is impeccable as the urbane,
laid-back Lone Wolf, and Ida Lupino is endearing
as his protective and frustrated girlfriend.
The exchanges between them are both amusing and
warm, and add another flavoring to the Nick and
Nora Charles School of Relationships. Rita
Hayworth stands out in an atypical role as the
baddie's chilly girlfriend, while Virginia Weidler
lends the right amount of natural tom-boyish charm
in her role as the Lone Wolf's daughter, Patricia.
(The film was titled THE LONE WOLF'S DAUGHTER in
the UK.) Production values for this type of B-film
are top-notch. TCM's fresh looking print shows
them off exquisitely. Cozy up to this one with
some nice hot beverage and enjoy! - eurosin
