Buchanan & Randolph Always Worth Watching

Jack Buchanan and Elsie Randolph are insurance investigators with a valet. They're on the trail of a gang that's been doing smash-and-grab robberies of jewelry store, this leads them into murder, two sets of employers with the undercover Elsie getting handsy, model trains and bickering over bananas. There is no dancing. They sing one altered line from "Yes, We Have No Bananas." The jokes are weak, the leads are pretty good and the direction by Tim Whelan is, too. It's moderately amusing, but not outstanding.

The intent seems to have been to do Buchanan and his regular stage partner as a "Nick & Nora Charles" couple. After the smash success of THE THIN MAN, everyone wanted to clone the formula, and just about no one succeeded. This one comes close, because of the easy chemistry between Buchanan and Randolph, but the bouts of manic shtick don't help.
