| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzI got a big kick out of this little detective story. |
| Reel Film ReviewsDavid Nusair...generally as breezy and amiable a piece of work as one might've expected. |
| Movie MetropolisJohn J. PuccioThe action moves along at a good clip, although there are some digressions with the neighborhood children that appear thrown in specifically to appease a young audience. |
| User ReviewJoanna BFinally, Nancy drew where she belongs...in the good old thirties. Yes, it's a TCM, and pretty old, plus the plot line's kitchy and delightfully corny. I think Bonita Granville is a pretty swell actress. |
