boblipton William Pine and William Thomas -- Paramount's B producers who took sturdy projects and turned out decent movies on modest budgets, earning them the appellation of "The Dollar bills" -- have a fine one-hour flick in this movie. Nancy Kelly gets a photography gig at a New York magazine, with wolfish Chester Morris as her boss; she totes along would-be fiancé Philip Terry, claiming he is her brother, to stand off Morris. She's smart, hard-working and they gradually fall in love, with many a quip, when a murdered woman pops up -- and it looks exactly like the picture of Miss Kelly that she posed for the magazine; her alibi is Mr. Terry, but he's been shipped out on a convoy to Russia and lost at sea.Richard Gaines is along as the health-nut publisher, and there are a lot of good gags for the first three-quarters of the picture, until the murder mystery takes over. Dewey Robinson as a cab driver also has a few good lines.

mark.waltz This really is the story of a prank blowing up in the prankster's face, in this case, a press photographer (Nancy Kelly) who seems to be obsessed with the marital issues of a much married man (Charles Arnt) and his most recent wife (Jane Farrar), a hot-tempered harpy with whom he has many public battles over his flirtations with other younger women. Having just been hired by the amorous Chester Morris, Kelly gets jailed on a murder rap, and the only testimony that could save her comes from her fiancée (Phillip Terry) whom Morris initially thought to be her brother and has sent him off on a mission where he is believed to be killed.This is one of those newspaper comedies where you can just hear the writer laughing to himself as he puts the script down on paper. It is intelligently written and amusing, but the aspect of the plot just gets a bit out of control and ultimately unbelievable with the plot going through so many twists and turns that it makes a pretzel look like a strand of spaghetti before it has been boiled. While this will never be the classic of "The Front Page", its sexually reversed remake "His Girl Friday" or the brilliant "Five Star Final" standards, it is a pleasant look at how the deadly sin of jealousy can create a lot of havoc for everybody involved.

bkoganbing Double Exposure casts Chester Morris as the editor of a photo journalistic magazine called Flick who on the strong suggestion of the owner Richard Gaines hires Nancy Kelly as a new staff photographer. Chet likes her, but she comes as a package deal along with Philip Terry whom she says is her brother.The film is from the budget school of Pine-Thomas who did the B films for Paramount. It moves at a nice clip and abruptly changes from comedy to murder mystery as Kelly is arrested for the murder of Jane Farrar the latest in a long line of wives for playboy Charles Arnt. Arnt's been giving Kelly the three times over and wouldn't mind adding her as yet another trophy wife.The editor part fits Morris well and it was a break though not much of one from Boston Blackie. Farrar until she turned up dead was one hot tempered wife who was not in a mood for explanations. It's part of what gets her killed. Gaines is also memorable as the boss who makes all his employees take part in his physical fitness regimen.Not a bad film as a second feature, probably to some Crosby or Hope film Paramount was featuring in 1944.

dutskenhousen A Real Charmer From The old Days. I thought of this movie as a classic Comedy/Romance and Very good looking for it as well. A well Casted Ballot Filled With Entandrable Roles Filled With Funny Lines and Fine Arrangements. Really A Good Looking Movie Being From Its Era It Stands up Nicely With The Times. Although A Bit Short Of Script With A Run time: 1:02:24 It Appropriates With The Era. What I Most Remember About This Movie Was The Dialog Was Short And Sweet. I think It Moved The story Along Quite NIcely. The Productin company was Production Company: Pine-Thomas Productions an Ample Comany to Take On A Project Like This. A Remake Might Be In store For This One?!
