Poster for the movie The Lone Wolf Keeps a Date

The Lone Wolf Keeps a Date (Columbia, 1940)

Enjoyable entry in the Warren William Lone Wolf series from Columbia has Michael Lanyard (William) in Havana to acquire a stamp for his collection and ending up involved with a young woman whose fiancé is in jail for a murder he did not commit. Of course, the Lone Wolf lends a hand, but then himself is suspected of nefarious doings by Inspector Crane (Thurston Hall) even as he comes into conflict with the real crooks as well. There’s a bit too much packed into this short movie, and a result too little time is given over to some of the characters and aspects of the plot.

  Mildly recommended. Otto judiciously thinks this movie is OK, but not great.

Movie 190 for 2021.
