Review of My Favorite Brunette (1947) by Andy A — 07 Jan 2012

My Favourite Brunette is a great Bob Hop spoof-comedy. Teaming up with the beautiful Dorthy Lamour, Hope brings his usual comic energy while the film spoofs detective and film noir films. There may be some confusing bumps during the film, but the great one-liners and decent twists save those moments.

In support, Peter Lorre is especially creepy, perfecting his sinister portrayal. The script is also quite good as its enriched with hilarious comic moments and great dialogue. Look out for Bing Crosby in a brief appearance who get's the film's last lines! Ultimately, My Favourite Brunette is a very good detective spoof.
