    Another dismal B-film role for Lucille Ball at RKO...

    Poor Lucy. It's a wonder she ever got any of the big breaks that came her way when you see how she was mistreated at RKO in a bunch of ingenue roles that required not even one-third of her talent.

    She's barely even visible in this trifle, a gangster movie that has RICHARD DIX getting most of the attention as a newspaper reporter on the heels of a rackets number gangster (CY KENDALL) while Lucy sits on the sidelines and pops up in only a few scenes. Even in the scenes she's in, she's hardly given more than a few lines to speak.

    The plot is nothing special, just a series of car chases and shootouts that make little sense since none of the characters are anything more than cardboard fixtures. Lucy's not the only one wasted here. ALLEN LANE as her kid brother has virtually nothing to do and DONALD MacBRIDE does his usual turn as an exasperated police officer.

    Trivia note: JOHN ARLEDGE, who plays "Red", and serves as the juvenile comedy relief, played a dying soldier this same year (1939) in GONE WITH THE WIND. And incidentally, Lucille Ball was sent to audition for David O. Selznick as a Scarlett O'Hara hopeful. Can you believe it???

    Good Cast, Murky Screenplay

    At times director Landers shows imagination as in the sudden close-ups. Otherwise there's little snap to the proceedings, but at least he keeps things moving, along with a couple eye-catching car crashes. The crowded hours are more like a crowded and rather loose screenplay that fails to really engage. It's something about a newspaperman getting the goods on a rackets kingpin, but the narrative rolls around too much to establish itself. Actor Dix gets little chance to show his usual grit, while Lucy gets mainly five lines and twenty minutes of looking over Dix's shoulder. So for Lucy fans, it's like a teaser with no payoff. With McBride, Kendall, and Richards, the supporting cast features familiar faces from that era. Too bad they don't get a better chance to show their stuff. I wish there were something to recommend besides the clever twelve-hour bookends, but there isn't. All and all, it's a rather flat programmer despite the promising criminal elements.

    A breezy "B"

    Twelve Crowded Hours is a tidy, swift and enjoyable little "crime comedy". Richard Dix, who seemed much more at ease in these programmers than in "A" features, is good as the newspaper reporter trying to bring the mobster responsible for his editor's death to justice. He manages to temper the character's innate cockiness and make him likeable. Lucille Ball enthusiasts may be disappointed with her role here; even though she has a few funny lines, her Paula Sanders is drab. Coming off much better are Donald MacBride as the sour detective and Cy Kendall as the burly mob boss. (The type of higher-profile role he should have had more often.) A nice, breezy 64 minutes.

    minor Lucy

    Newspaper investigative reporter Nick Green is searching for dance instructor Paula Sanders (Lucille Ball)'s wayward brother Dave who is headed for trouble. Indeed, he has gotten in trouble with gangster George Costain and his bag.

    Of course, I'm watching this for Lucille Ball. This is not really a showcase for her. She's just the blonde dame. Mostly, this is a weakly-made crime drama. This may be an early example of somebody trying to make a shaky-cam movie or the camera is swaying back and forth for no reason. Probably the latter and it's making me nauseous. It must be in post-post production because even the the closing cards are swaying back and forth. This must be a recording of a recording. Honestly, I don't know why anybody cares about Dave or any other character in this movie. I'm not really following that closely and I don't like any of these characters.

    big names before they were big

    Nick (Richard Dix) is the reporter, trying to get the goods on local mob boss (Cy Kendall) running the town, but Paula Sanders and her brother ( Lucille Ball, Allan lane) get in the way. You'll recognize Donald MacBride as the Detective... MacBride always yelled "Jumpin Butterballs!" in the marx brothers films. Granville Bates is McEwen, but Bates keeps looking off to the right... appears to be reading the lines off a card. Lucy had been making shorts and un-credited film roles since the early 1930s, but had just recently started getting bigger, credited parts. it all works. very linear. they get taken by the crooks,and have to figure out how to get out of it. no suspense. it's all very flat-line average. another pretty small role for Lucy, but she's on her way, after all those un-credited roles. Dix (and his son) both died quite young, as did Kendall. Directed by Lew Landers. made four films with Lucy. they never really knew what to do with her, until she got her own series.

    • Curiosidades
      The Floy Floy Club in this film refers to part of the title of a popular 1938 jazz recording "Flat Foot Floogie (with a Floy Floy)". "Floogie" was originally "Floozie", meaning a woman with loose morals, but the record label objected to that term, so it was changed. Floy Floy was an African-American slang term for venereal disease - something this film's producers did not know at the time. So, the original title of the tune was about a flat-footed prostitute with VD, and the name of the club would have therefore been the VD Club.

      When Keller comes to Green's apartment and finds Costain and Green inside, he walks in and stops in the middle of the room. A conversation ensues. Keller then notices the handkerchief and compact on the desk, but he and the other two men are now another two yards/ metres further into the room.
