stop the presses...Nancy Drew is on the case! May 14, 2009
By Byron Kolln
Take a trip back to a simpler time, when an unassuming teenage girl could track down the missing evidence in a messy murder trial. Carolyn Keene's "Nancy Drew" series received definitive screen versions in the late 1930s thanks to the Warner Brothers films franchise starring Bonita Granville as teen sleuth Nancy Drew.
In NANCY DREW...REPORTER (filmed in 1939), we follow Nancy while she works as a student reporter at the city newsdesk. Enterprising young lady that she is, Nancy secretly swaps her assigned story for a hot murder trial, where pretty chemical lab assistant Eula Denning (Betty Amann) will surely go to the gas chamber unless Nancy uncovers the vital evidence that will clear her name. Nancy teams with her next-door-neighbour Ted Nickerson (Frankie Thomas) as they set off on a dangerous, thrill-packed race against time...
Bonita Granville remains the definitive screen Nancy; the perfect embodiment of the enterprising, go-gettum spirit of the books. Frankie Thomas (best-remembered as TV's "Tom Corbett: Space Cadet") is also very fine as the reluctant stooge to Nancy's crime capers.
