The Blondie film series came to an end with Beware Of Blondie. Kind of a misleading title as the only one who should fear Blondie is Dagwood when he's done something stupid.
Apparently J.C. Dithers has decided to re-enter the construction business and is once again Dagwood's boss, this time played briefly by Edward Earle. Apparently Dithers is in his dotage because he's forgotten what a klutz Dagwood could be as Dithers leaves him in charge of the office including fiduciary responsibility for the company's funds in his absence.
Truth be told Arthur Lake doesn't have a chance as one of Columbia Pictures newest sex symbols Adele Jergens sets Dagwood up with the old badger game. Douglas Fowley shows up as the husband with the alienated affections and Dagwood writes out a check to Jergens to save her from a horrible beating.
Another piece of serendipity saves Dagwood and his job, but the Blondie series was over. Penny Singleton got into some blacklist problems and did not work for 12 years.
The series goes out on a so-so note, but the Bumsteads legion of fans should be happy.
