Hope and Lamour are in fine form, with Hope flinging his characteristically deadpan one-liners (&#8220;Nutty as a fruitcake, and with all that beautiful frosting&#8221;) left and right, and Lamour remaining appropriately dark and mysterious throughout. It&#8217;s especially fun to see iconic character actors such as Peter Lorre and Lon Chaney, Jr. in respectful, meaty supporting roles &#8212; ones which pay fitting homage to their on-screen personae. Interestingly, part of what makes this film so successful (as pointed out by one contributor on IMDb) is that the storyline (minus Hope&#8217;s one-liners) would probably work just as well if played straight &#8212; a sign of its intelligence and ultimate staying power. Excellent use is made of real-life locales in Monterey, California; apparently the mansion where the criminals reside still exists on the town&#8217;s touristy 17-mile drive. Watch for the refreshing presence of an Asian-American actress (Jean Fong) in a small but pivotal role as a mother in Chinatown who brings her young son to be photographed by Hope; it&#8217;s truly criminal that she wasn&#8217;t given any official credit.
