I enjoyed this film more than I expected...in fact it was a delightful surprise. I liked the banter between our young married couple played by Brian Aherne and Loretta Young and their playful antics (I have heard references to Nick and Nora, but they are definitely lighter with less witty banter).
This film tells the story of Nancy and Jeff Troy who move into the understoop Greenwich apartment to help Jeff write his next great mystery novel. On their first night they find a dead body...and everyone in their building is acting suspicious. There is an ongoing gag about Jeff not being able to open one of their doors that everyone else seems to be able to open.
My favorite scene is when the cops are questioning Jeff and discover that he is the mystery writer Jeff Yort.
The character actors in this film along with Loretta Young really make this film shine. This is a strong recommendation from me...I stayed for the great sparring between the married couple but ended up really enjoying the mystery.
