The Lone Wolf Keeps a Date (1940)


Columbia Pictures
Directed by Sidney Salkow
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Turner Classic Movies)

The debonair reformed jewel thief gets involved in a kidnapping when his beloved stamp collection is stolen while in Cuba. The lovely Frances Robinson is trying to catch the kidnappers as well to prove the innocence of her wrongly jailed fiance. There is more comedy than usual in this entry, including a particularly funny scene where Lanyard's stamp collection ends up in ruins. Less successful comedy relief is provided as usual by manservant/sidekick Eric Blore as Jamison and some bumbling policemen.
