I wasn't planning on continuing the Nancy Drew series, but my wife was into it so I'll give this one a go. (It's on YouTube, even.) I liked Frankie Thomas in the first one, thought he brought out the best in Granville.
It's on Amazon Prime as well, if that's an option, though the quality might not necessarily be better, given the public domain status of the film.
I forgot to mention in my review that, deviant that I am, I was rooting hard for Nancy and Ted to lose their virginity to each other in the rumble seat of Nancy's car.
I don't go to the movies. They're indecent. They appeal to the baser tendencies, to temptations. Young people aren't able to cope with them, all this sex starting too early. It's thrown at them under the guise of art. But it's really immoral, amoral stuff , made just for the money. More than that, it's done something to our generation. It's destroyed romance and imagination that goes along with sex. And that's pretty important because, otherwise, sex becomes mechanical. Don't get me wrong. I'm a great believer in sex. But that's not the way to go about it.
Well, damn. To each her own.
Why this and not The Saint, The Falcon or Mr. Moto? What about Basil Rathbone as Sherlock Holmes? How many of those have you seen?
Like I said, the two Nancy Drew/Dick Tracy movies are in my lineup just because someone gave me a cheapy DVD containing the two of them, and I figured now was as good a time as any to watch them. I went through the Rathbone
Holmes series shortly before joining the forum (I'm in the
Scarlet Claw camp). The series I need to prioritize is
The Thin Man, as I've only ever seen the first one.
I won't be in any rush to see the other three Nancy Drew films, but if I run across them on tv, I'm sure I'll tune in.
