Comedy and Mystery were often mixed in the 30's and this is a fine example.
The story is about a young man on parole. A bunch of bank robbers use him and his car to get away. Being on parole, he doesn't want to inform the police. He seeks shelter in the hospital were his sister is working as a nurse. But the gangsters are on to him...
The true sleuth in this movie is head nurse Sarah Keats, played by Jane Darwell. Her role, gestures and acting do remind one of Margareth Rutherford playing Miss Marple. Wade Botteler embodies the stereotype stupid policeman. Sally Blane as the nurse and Thomas Beck as doctor McKerry are a nice couple in love. Sig Ruman is convincing as the head of the hospital. Joan Davis is thrown in to cause laughter, even though she is overacting terribly.
I found this movie on the internet. I am quite certain there are no more rights on this movie, so you could try a search. However it is quite likely available on a cheap DVD carrying oldies as well. And usually these are of better quality.
A very enjoyable movie. The pace is high and there is plenty to laugh, with a few nice one liners by Jane Darwell. 7 out of 10: enjoy!
