Plantiana Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

Twilightfa Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.

Christophe Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

Kayden This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

mark.waltz Two soda jerks desperate to break into radio to have their murder mysteries produced end up investigating the real deal in this amusing slapstick comedy that is one of Abbott and Costello's funniest. Filled with gag after gag and some great comedy performances, this jump into slapstick from the start and never lets go. Lou's getting hoodwinked by a juvenile telegram boy, first losing five cents and a bunch of glasses of orange juice, and later tickets to a radio show he believed were for a previous performance, as well as falling for the old two dimes for a nickel gag. More comedy is provided by a young Mary Wickes as the radio station secretary, and there are also amusing gags involving various takes on the old "Who on First?", including one where Lou wins a radio, turns it on and hears the real Abbott and Costello doing the routine, and being turned off by having to hear this again over and over again. Unlike other Abbott and Costello movies, this one doesn't have any musical numbers, but it focuses more on plot for a change and that makes it a bit better than some of the musical comedies they had done up to that time.

LeonLouisRicci Thank the Comedy Gods. This is Proof positive that those Intrusive Musical Numbers were and will Always be, well Intrusive. This is Abbott and Costello at Their Best. The Duo takes Advantage of the Freedom and unleash a Hyper-Kinetic barrage of Slapstick, One Liners, and All-Out Anarchy that Endears the Audience and makes for a Near Masterpiece of priceless Low-Brow Humor, perhaps only Eclipsed by the "The Three Stooges" in Their many Short Subjects.The 77 Minute Movie is Filled with Laughs and the Set Design is sharply Noirish. There is even a Surreal, Expressionistic, Hallucinatory Dream Sequence, but it is too Short and goes virtually Unnoticed and is a Missed Opportunity within a Movie with very Little Missed Opportunities.Backed by a Good and supportive Cast, A&C never let a Minute go by without Milking it for all its Worth. Their Timing is Impeccable, the Jokes Work and will most likely will Ignite Spontaneous Laughter even from the most Jaded. This puts a lot of Their Output in the Shadows and is Top-Notch, Top-Tier, and Today it is a Showcase and a Touching Point to Point Out just what Made Abbott and Costello the Box-Office Kings of the 1940's. If You plan on Watching a Couple of the Couple's Movies to see what all the Fuss was about, this is a pure Representation of Their Talent and Appeal. Arguably Their Best. A Fan Favorite for Good Reason. No, for Great Reason, because this is the Team at Their Greatest.

gridoon2018 This Abbott and Costello spoof of whodunits contains some laugh-out-loud moments ("I was holding the gun backwards!"), but IMO would have been even funnier if it had focused more on the "A & C posing as detectives" idea: the scene where they "interrogate" the suspects ("what kind of murder is this without a butler?") is possibly the highlight of the film and predates by decades similar scenes in the "Pink Panther" sequels. But the rest of the movie has the boys mostly trying to evade the real policemen rather than investigating the crime(s). Luckily, "Who Done It?" is not just a succession of comic routines - it also has a functional mystery plot and a well-done climactic set piece with Bud and Lou trapped alone with the killer on the roof of a skyscraper. (**1/2)

donofthedial Oh, this one is so funny! It's got everything going for it with A&C in top form in a tight and tidy comedy/mystery that is filmed with style and flair.Most of the film is set in a sharp looking Streamline Moderne radio station and studio. Crisp photography and great use of lighting.Top flight cast with William Bendix a standout as an extremely dense police detective who is just about as dumb as Lou! The A&C routine with Lou trying to make a telephone call to "Alexander 2222" and having to deal with the operator is a riot from beginning to end. Even before the call - (phone calls were 5 cents back in those days from a pay phone) Bud tells Lou that he'll have to "drop a nickel" if he wants to make a call...so Lou drops a nickel on the floor! Hahaha! What a moron! Lou's facial expression at the end of the short "I'm thinking of a number between one and ten" is so fabulously stupid...and on multiple levels.The film is beautifully paced and is a must see on video as opposed to a broadcast television copy where they have tended for years to cut the opening sequence in some markets.This is one of the true handful of great A&C films and a good one to show to someone who have never seen A&C in action.
