Footsteps In The Dark: Review

starstarstarstar
Flynn, in a delightful, non-historical role, is an amateur criminologist who earns his living as an investment counselor. At night, without wife Marshall's knowing, he slips outside and plays sleuth, looking for crimes to solve so he can write some mysteries under his nom-de-plume, F.X. Pettijohn. While prowling about in the fog one night, Flynn encounters a jewel thief who is found dead the next day, apparently of acute alcoholism. This appears to be murder to Flynn, who knows the man was a teetotaler, and he spends the rest of the film trying to prove his case. En route he meets a zany stripper (Patrick) while posing as a swaggering Texas cattleman. This further complicates his life, when his wife and his mother, Watson, believe he is romantically involved with Patrick; they attend the burlesque house where she is performing to investigate. The police, headed by the obstreperous Hale, also involve Flynn in the death. He finally clears himself and solves the murder by pinpointing oral surgeon Bellamy as the villain. This was not one of Flynn's better films, a fault that can be attributed to a weak script that should have had more humor in it, given the capricious premise. leave a comment
