Charlie McCarthy, Detective is a 1939 American comedy film starring Edgar Bergen, Charlie McCarthy and Robert Cummings.[2][3]

Plot

Scotty Hamilton is a reporter who works for a crooked editor. Bill Banning is another reporter who is about to expose the editor's ties to the mob. When the editor is killed, both reporter Banning and mobster Tony Garcia are suspected. However, Hamilton's friend Edgar Bergen solves the case (without much help from Charlie McCarthy).

Cast

Uncredited

Production

The film was announced in June 1938. It was the second movie Bergen made for Universal following Letter of Introduction.[4][5] Bob Cummings was assigned in October 1939.[6]

Filming took place from November to December 1939.[7]

Reception

The New York Times called it "a nondescript omlette".[8] Variety wrote "whatever box office reaction" the film "is able to generate depends on the ability of Edgar Bergen and his wooden stooge to carry this inadequate script and inept direction. Picture wilj have to struggle as top half of the dualers. It won't assist the screen progress of Bergen and his pal."[9]
