Meet Boston Blackie (1941)


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

Coney Island carnival atmosphere enhances otherwise routine Boston Blackie entry. Our hero, a reformed jewel thief much like the concurrent Lone Wolf series from Columbia, gets framed for murder. He sets out to find the real killers, picking up Rochelle Hudson as a sidekick and foiling the police along the way. The trail leads to spies using a Mechanical Man side show as a cover.
