Rating: - Nancy Drew, Reporter meets Hitchcock - well, kinda....
Nancy Drew, Reporter (1939) is a very good entry in this series. I watched it for the first time the other night and was amused by two scenes with Psycho references. Since the movie was made over 20 years before Hitchcock's masterpiece, the scenes are pure coincidence, but worth sharing...during the movie, one of the characters appears in drag looking eerily like Mother Bates! and in another scene, which takes place on a rooftop, there is a sign in the background advertising the Bates Hotel! I had ... Read More
Rating: - Find that Can!
Nancy Drew was and is an incredibly popular book series, but film makers knew a good story when they found one, and decided to make this one into a film series. Bonita Granville stars as Nancy, an excitable young girl who itches to solve mysteries. In this movie, she finds herself assigned to a childish topic when she volunteers to work for the local newspaper. She switches her topic with a real reporter's and finds herself listening to a murder trial. She believes the main suspect is innocent and ... Read More
Rating: - Perky and incorrigible, Nancy Drew puts poison and boxing together to solve the case
To really enjoy Nancy Drew you need a high tolerance for perkiness and a sympathetic understanding that movies like this were designed for an America that has long vanished. Nancy (Bonita Granville) finds herself working as an intern at a newspaper and manages to finagle her way into a murder case. We know what happened, why and who did it within the first five minutes. We just need to sit back and see how Nancy involves just about everyone she knows to catch the killer. The charm of the movie depends ... Read More
Rating: - stop the presses...Nancy Drew is on the case!
Take a trip back to a simpler time, when an unassuming teenage girl could track down the missing evidence in a messy murder trial. Carolyn Keene's "Nancy Drew" series received definitive screen versions in the late 1930s thanks to the Warner Brothers films franchise starring Bonita Granville as teen sleuth Nancy Drew.
In NANCY DREW...REPORTER (filmed in 1939), we follow Nancy while she works as a student reporter at the city newsdesk. Enterprising young lady that she is, Nancy secretly ... Read More
Rating:  - BED BUG HOTEL!
Bonita Granville was a delightful ball of fun during the 1930's in this "B" series from WB. This entry was one of the best in the series. She looks cute as a button dressed by Milo Anderson and brings energy to the "B" script by Kenneth Gamet. Director William Clemens keeps everything moving quickly for an enjoyable bit of fun for young mystery fans, and film buffs fond of the always terrific Bonita Granville.
Nancy gets her chance as a reporter along with some other girls as a promotion run ... Read More
