My Favorite Brunette (1947)

 A baby photographer takes a detective job of rescuing the uncle of a young woman. She gives him a map to hide. She is staying at a mansion whose owner tells the detective that his client suffers from schizophrenia.

Parody of detective movies. It has some funny one-liners and a few comic visual sequences. The plot does not make any sense (if the uncle is with the good guys, how does a photo revealing him to be an impostor help prove the protagonist's innocence?), which is supposed to be funny too, but frankly isn't very. Overall it's watchable, but far from brilliant.

Rating: 47
