Trivia
The high speed car chase with Nancy trying to catch up to another driver who damaged her car was largely filmed on the streets of Burbank, right outside the gates of Warner Brothers' studio, where this film was made.

Goofs
After Ted gets out of Nancy's car to rush to his tennis date, a shadow of the boom microphone is visible on the backs of people passing by, especially on the woman in the light-colored coat.

Quotes
City Editor Bostwick: Why anyone is simple minded enough to want to work on a newspaper I've never been able to find out.
Nancy Drew: Why Mr. Bostwick, journalism is a very noble and glorious career. With all the adventure and romance and everything I'd think you would just love it.

A Cozy Movie!

A pleasant movie with old cars, chase scenes singing etc. Bonita is very charming as Nancy and the relationship with her boyfriend is developed just right. Teds sister and sidekick really dont offer much and could have been done away with or limited.All in all its far beter than todays sex and violence.
