AKA The Affairs of Jimmy Valentine

Mike Jason (Dennis O'Keefe), idea man for the Bullard Advertising Agency, and Cleo Arden (Gloria Dickson), director of the Jimmy Valentine radio program, based on the exploits of the old-time safe cracker, fear their jobs are in jeopardy when the sponsor decides to switch his show to another agency.
Mike suggests that a $10,000 prize be offered to anyone who can locate the real Jimmy Valentine.
Mike and Mousey (George E. Stone), a little chiseler who has attached himself to Mike, follow a clue to a small town.
Unknown to Mike, Mousey is out for revenge and kills two innocent men before they learn the identity of the real Jimmy Valentine.

Subject: A fun movie for a flick that sees two people murdered
I did like the streak of decency our not so squeaky clean hero develops. A bit corny, but it WAS 1942 after all.

I watched it without regretting having done so. I might have passed on watching it if not for the comments from the other reviewers. I agree with the consensus.

Subject: Great Movie...Lots of Fun & Mystery
This is a fun movie to watch !

Dennis O'Keefe, cool as ever, aided by a Super-B Film Cast. Sort of a chopped-up copy that sometimes jumps ahead to the next scene...with no set-up. But it's well worth your time to watch it !

Both female leads (Ruth Terry: Adorable ! & Gloria Dickinson: Cool & Sultry !) are perfect !

Ya Gotta Watch This Film !

Subject: Corrupted?
Is there something wrong with the streaming and download versions of this movie?

Subject: Well..unique story
it mixes a pretty darn good mystery with some comedy and a little sappy nonsense to find Mr Big..
Enjoyable flick even though the kid (girl) is played a bit to childish in my opinion, but this is 2011 and not 1942 so my opinion doesn't count there. ;)
