Bye Bye to this blackbird
The last time Jerome Cowan got tangled up with a blackbird in a film it was The
Maltese Falcon. Any resemblance to this film and that classic it's just an accident.
Like in Maltese Falcon, Cowan is playing a detective who is hired by Gene Lockhart to find a talking pet crow. Who has heard and memorized the fact that Lockhart has killed someone and now speaks it. Lockhart is in politics and can't afford a scandal.
The guy that Lockhart thinks took the bird is dead. In less than an hour Cowan has the case wrapped.
I think the brothers Warner gave the audience the bird.
