My Favorite Blonde
HELP! SHE'S AFTER ME! IS THERE A BRUNETTE IN THE HOUSE?
A lighthearted wartime comedy romp built on mistaken identity, romantic banter, and slapstick chase sequences between a bumbling vaudeville performer and a glamorous spy.
Larry Haines, a mediocre vaudeville entertainer, boards a train for Los Angeles. Aboard, he meets an attractive, blonde British agent carrying a coded message hidden in a brooch—and is being pursued by Nazi agents.
