Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - A Comedy about Murder on Radio
Colonel J.R. Andrews is head of a radio broadcasting company. A new writer is hired for a murder mystery show. Chick and Mervin are working in a drugstore, and put on their comic skits. The film shows how a radio mystery show is produced. But Colonel Andrews is murdered by a clever plot. There is another skit on the use of words that sound alike. [The jokes show the attitudes of those days.] Can life imitate art? Misunderstandings provide comedy. Strange events cause Mervin to look for clues in a closet; he finds something that doesn't belong there. "Which way did they go?" Is there a secret in Colonel Andrews' office? Is the murderer after this secret?

There is confusion in the dark. The elevator is manually controlled. Could a plain language code be used on radio? [Yes.] The acrobats show their skills. Who will win the prize? ... Read More

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Just a Riot!
This one doesn't get mentioned as much as "Hold That Ghost" but it is one of their best. Chick (Bud) and Mervin (Lou) are working in a diner but trying to break into radio as writers for the mystery show "Murder at Midnight." There is just one great gag and skit followed by another, and Bud and Lou turn every situation in this great and well-written comedy into utter chaos. In technical terms, this movie is a hoot!

The very pretty Louise Albritton trys to help Patrick Knowles break into radio, but he is having none of it and offers to help Bud and Lou by inviting them to a live broadcast of "Murder at Midnight." During the broadcast, of course, a real murder occurs and the boys see this as their big break. They impersonate the police in order to solve the murder of the radio station owner themselves and become the only radio writers ... Read More


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - One of A&C's Best
Really funny and fast moving A&C. Including one of their best routines "Alexander 2-2" (with Lou trying to make a phone call). Fun rooftop chase and finale.
(And I have to say, I never really got the comparison to Curly of the Three Stooges mentioned in other reviews. There are some similarities-- both being overweight and childlike, but I think both comics are hysterical and uniquely different. Lou Costello is more of "the little man"lost in a world he doesn't always comprehend, the victim of others selfishness, just trying to get by(the "Alexander 2-2" routine in this film being a good example) -- while Curly Howard is more of the frustrated simpleton who is often the main benefactor of his own stupidity. Both were brilliant, but in different ways.
