Murder on the Blackboard

Not as fun as Penguin Pool Murder, but once Oliver and Gleason are put in the same room, they're as delightful as a geriatric Nick and Nora.

Edna May Oliver & James Gleason as Inspector Hildegarde Withers & Oscar Piper. Better then their first one. A good old murder mystery where Oliver gets her chance to shine as the snoopy school teacher assisting the police. Good chemistry and it also helps that they have a bunch of very recognizable supporting actors to give us a familiar setting. The story is sometimes a little on the slow side with comedy taking up too much of the time compared to establishing the suspects, but it's a fun one.

Edna May Oliver is phenomenal! She's having the time of her life playing a jaded amateur detective. She seems to want to solve the case merely to spite the cops.
