Supelice Dreadfully Boring

Helloturia I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.

Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Taha Avalos The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

utgard14 Second in the Nancy Drew series starring the adorable Bonita Granville. It's also my personal favorite. This time Nancy's working on the school newspaper. She and the other kids are given the opportunity to write stories for the big city paper, but the paper's grumpy editor gives them all fluff assignments. This doesn't sit well with Nancy, who decides to cover a woman's murder trial. This leads to her trying to prove the woman's innocence.Another enjoyable entry in the series, with solid work from Granville as the spunky and smart girl detective. Love her great chemistry with father John Litel and sidekick Frankie Thomas. Thomas is great and has some of the movie's best scenes. Mary Lee and Dickie "Pinocchio" Jones are fun as a couple of bratty kids who team up with Granville and Thomas for a musical number. Look fast at the beginning for baby-faced Joan Leslie as one of Nancy's classmates. This is the only one of the four Drew movies that's in public domain now.

Syl For some reason, this film was included in the Shirley Temple collection but she's not in it at all. I wouldn't have seen it otherwise. I will say that it is both entertaining and light fare. The actress who played Nancy Drew does a fine job. Nancy Drew is well known as the fictional teen detective to readers everywhere. I am surprised that this adaptation was done early. Bonita Glanville was probably the first Nancy Drew. This film is only an hour about Nancy Drew trying to help the wrongly accused. She is believable and likable allay once. Her portrayal is fine. The script is average. The cast does a decent job. There is danger though with an injured boxer on the wrong side of the law.

wes-connors In her second case for the movies, pretty teenage sleuth Bonita Granville (as Nancy Drew) enters a "young newspaper reporter" contest. Naturally, she sheds her human interest story assignment for something more dangerous, and decides to cover a murder trial. Soon, Ms. Granville is re-investigating the case, eventually putting herself in danger. Granville, looking more and more curvaceous, enlists the aid of young wavy-haired neighbor Frankie Thomas (as Ted Nickerson), who looks swell in boxing trunks. ("One Round Lugan, the Frisco Flash!") This entry's story isn't as well-paced as the first, but the teen detectives are still very appealing. John Litel (as Carson Drew) leads an entertaining supporting cast.****** Nancy Drew... Reporter (2/18/39) William Clemens ~ Bonita Granville, Frankie Thomas, John Litel

tavm Before Veronica Mars, there was Nancy Drew, the teenage amateur detective with an attorney father created in a series of juvenile novels by "Carolyn Keene" (not a real name). Nancy Drew...Reporter was the second of four films that starred Bonita Granville as the title character for Warner Bros. Directed at a fast pace with crackling dialogue and humorous and suspenseful moments throughout, this movie is a breeze at just 68 minutes. Wonderful supporting cast includes John Litel as Nancy's father, Frankie Thomas as Nancy's boyfriend Ted, and Mary Lee and Dickie Jones as Ted's sister and her friend who cause trouble wherever they go. The last two had a future association with Gene Autry with Lee appearing in some of his '40s movies and Dickie (later Dick) also appearing with him then starring in later TV series "Range Rider" and "Buffalo Bill, Jr." for Autry's production company. Though it stops the story, there is a wonderful swinging version of Nursery Rhymes as sung by Granville, Thomas, Lee, and Jones. Dickie would also be famous as the title character voice of Walt Disney's Pinocchio. Well worth seeing for fans of Drew and '30s programmers. P.S. Joan Leslie and Florence Halop appear as classmates of Nancy in the newsroom field trip sequence.
