My Favorite Brunette

He's a hilarious hawkshaw... with a case on Dottie!

Directed by Elliott Nugent

Produced by Hope Enterprises, Paramount Pictures

A lighthearted romantic comedy spoof where a bumbling amateur gets mistaken for a detective and stumbles through a mystery, told with broad humor and charm.

Ronnie Jackson is a lowly baby photographer who secretly fantasizes about being a private detective. When a lovely baroness actually mistakes him for one and asks him to help locate her missing husband, Baron Montay, Ronnie finds himself agreeing. Several days later he is on death row whiling away the hours until his execution by recounting to a group of reporters the bizarre tale of how he ended up there.
