It Shouldn't Happen to a Dog (1946)

Twentieth Century-Fox Film
Directed by Herbert Leeds
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Fox Movie Channel)

Intrepid newspaper reporter Allyn Joslyn falls for an April Fool's joke in which a dog holds up a bar. It makes front page headlines, so he steals the dog and tries to prove it really did happen to save his job. He gets mixed up with the dog's owner, a policewoman who is after real crooks. Breezy, post-war comedy is never really funny and will offend modern politically correct sensibilities, especially on the role of women.
