Audience Member This was particularly enjoyable because of an early appearance of Rita Hayworth, as an old flame of Dagwood's that comes back into his life and makes Blondie hugely insecure and jealous. Great fun.

Great fun. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review bill t Bit by bit, I totally believe that the Blondie series is one of the most seriously neglected film series of all time, there were, I don't know, 20? films (actually, 28 now that I've looked it up) and I've seen 5 of them, and they've all be charming, with amazing chemistry with the leads, plenty of humor and smartness, without treating the audience like idiots. In this one, what could have been a one joke movie (Blondie is jealous of Dagwood's old flame popping by for a visit) turns out to be quite a clever and funny series of events. It just so happens the old flame is played by Rita Hayworth in one of those "Before They Were Famous" roles. She's quite magnetic, and actually adds, but surprisingly doesn't distract what is going on. One of the best in the series. Some great shots of an old time movie theatre too. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member One of my favorite episodes in the series, Don Beddoe is hysterically funny in a supporting role. It's interesting to see Rita Hayworth before she became a star. Outstanding and very funny. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
