Who Done It?

About This Movie

Who Done It? (1942) is this quirky blend of comedy and mystery that really nails the atmosphere of early radio days. The film follows these two soda jerks, who just want to break into writing radio mysteries. Their naivety leads them into this wild scenario where a murder unfolds during a live broadcast. It’s a real treat watching their bumbling attempts to solve a crime they never intended to get involved in. The pacing is brisk, keeping you engaged while the humor lands just right, thanks to some solid performances. Erle C. Kenton did a decent job mixing laughs with the suspense, which is a tricky balance. Practical effects are straightforward but effective, adding a nice touch to the overall vibe. Worth checking out if you're into the era’s style.
