SLIGHTLY HONORABLE(1939)
In the set: 100 Greatest Mystery Classics
Another movie about political graft and corruption!
And the man who's trying to end it! I don't agree
with the reviewer below, I thought this was pretty
great! B+
A review from IMDb.com:
Ever get stuck watching a movie and you couldn't
wait until it ended? This was one of the few that
I've seen. Excruciating is a good word. Only a
great cast saves it from a lower rating - makes
you wonder what they could have done with better
material.
"Slightly Honorable" can't decide if it's a comedy
or a mystery picture and fails on both levels - not
funny and not very mysterious. Ruth Terry is 'cute
and perky' but is an annoying presence. Eve Arden
is wasted, as is Edward Arnold. Pat O'Brien does
his best but it's not enough. The disjointed
storyline is not believable and not worth
recounting.
If this picture is shown on a rainy day and you
have nothing to do, find a good book. - GManfred
