Why?
Nancy Drew is a staple in my household so when we found an old Nancy Drew movie, we knew we had to watch it.
What in the world?
Nancy Drew wants to win a medal in journalism or reporting so she steals someone else's topic to write about. This topic is murder, so she then has to clear the girl that they believe is responsible.
Personal thoughts
Although real people movies and black-and-white movies are not really my thing, I thought this one had its own charm. The character of Nancy Drew was much different than in the books which was a welcome change and made the movie more entertaining. From the books I read, no one died in them, so it makes sense that the character adapted to the screen had some changes. Also, it kind of bothered me that Ned Nickerson was actually Ted Nickerson. That was a shock for me, and my boy Ned deserved so much better than the guy that was on the screen.
Score
I have to give this movie a 7 out of 10. It had a quaint little plot, and it was interesting to watch the events unfold. There were however 2 scenes that I felt should not have been in the movie. The first scene was when Ned had to fight the boxer guy. This scene was pointless and added nothing to the plot except run time. The second scene was when they were trying to pay their bill. They had to sing to entertain the guests, and this went on for longer than it should have if you couldn't have guessed. It was a bunch of nursery rhymes. If you cared, they were able to pay their bill and leave.
Watch what you love,
