“I Love Trouble” Review
Starring Franchot Tone as a slick talking private eye on a seemingly small time case that turns into something much larger and a series of some of Hollywood’s most beautiful women from the time: Janis Carter, Janet Blair, Adele Jergens, and gem of my eye, Glenda Farrell as the PI’s girl Friday. She has much more of a role this time around, much to my delight, but she’s not the star, so the majority of the screen time is Mr Tone’s. He does very well with it though and I’m happy to say this is a fantastic mystery story that starts off fast at a 1948 Bank of America and ends with bodies in the ocean and women lining up for one final kiss. It’s often difficult to go back to the source for modern tropes, and there’s none used more than a murder mystery, but “I Love Trouble” has enough unique and captivating elements to it that even though the movie just celebrated it’s 75th anniversary it’s still as fresh as the day it originally hit the silver screen.
