Mar 4 12 4:38 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I watched Svengoolie's presentation of- Abbott and Costello Meet The Killer... last evening. Which brings me to this topic discussion: What are your Top-Five favorite Comedy Detective Mysteries or Mystery Comedy films? Off the top of my head, my five aren't written in stone or anything and they're subject to change, but at this moment they are- 1) The one I just mentioned above, 2) My Favorite Brunette, 3) Topper Returns, 4) Murder By Death, 5) The Black Cat (1941). Oh, I'm sure someone will mention one that I should and will replace on this list...Bud & Lou in- Who Done It, perhaps?

Mar 5 12 3:11 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Of course, some of the straight mysteries have so much comedy in them that they could be called "Comedy detective mysteries." So my list would be: THE THIN MAN AFTER THE THIN MAN THE CHEAP DETECTIVE THE THIN MAN GOES HOME MURDER BY DEATH

Mar 28 12 6:27 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I think all three (The Ghost Breakers, Scared Stiff, The Gorilla) would fit the- "Mystery" Comedy venue.

Mar 29 12 6:06 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I agree, Lawrence. They are all great! Speaking of which, I haven't seen THE GORILLA in a while, and I love that one, so I think I need to pop it in the DVD player soon!
