Show notes

Nancy Drew... Reporter is a 1939 film from director William Clemens, starring Bonita Granville as the titular teen sleuth, as well as Frankie Thomas and John Litel. The movie is the second in a series of four Nancy Drew films that kicked off just eight years after the Stratemeyer Syndicate first introduced the character into the mystery canon.

This screwball feature sees the eponymous girl detective taking on the role of cub reporter for a local River Heights paper. But Nancy Drew's not out to write some puff piece for her internship. She's looking to break a big scoop — with some help from her reluctant boyfriend-slash-news-photographer Ted Nickerson. Zaniness ensues when these reporters-in-training begin investigating the murder of a local woman.

Áine and Kevin tackle this assignment with the gusto of hard-boiled journalists, although it's fitting to say that plenty of elements in this film ought to have been spiked.
