Nancy Drew: Trouble Shooter
starring
Bonita Granville
(1939)
|
When a close friend of the Drew family is accused of murder in a rural community, Nancy, aided by boyfriend Ted, helps her lawyer father expose the real killers.
The third of four Nancy Drew Movies made in the late 1930's, this one is from 1939, Nancy Drew: Trouble Shooter brings fans of the girl detective more fun, mystery, danger, and some rather politically incorrect antics.
I had previously seen the second of the four movies, which was the only one then available on DVD. So I was quite pleased to run into a DVD set with all four through my local library. Needless to say, as a Nancy Drew fan since I read my first yellow hardcover at age 10, I put a hold on the set and have enjoyed watching these old black/white films. The most famous of girl detectives is an enduring character, has gone through many versions in books, movies, TV series's, and even computer games. She looks a little different for each generation but that is part of her charm....she has been well loved by at least 4 generations now. You just can't beat that kind of popularity. So, if your fan of old black/white movies, and the girl detective, like I am, you'll want to check out Nancy Drew: Trouble Shooter and help Nancy solve a murder...and escape some comically dangerous situations...
