Keep an eye on Lanyard when he makes his way down the phone book list looking for a favorite fence; he reads off 'Tandler, Tanaka, and Tang', but those names aren't in alphabetical order.

The Series Running Out of Gas

The Lone Wolf in London (1947)

* 1/2 (out of 4)

Stop me if any of this sounds familiar. Michael Lanyard (Gerald Mohr), better known as The Lone Wolf, is visiting London doing research for his upcoming book when some priceless jewels are stolen. Scotland Yard believes he did the crime so he must once again prove that he's innocent by nabbing the bad guys. THE LONE WOLF IN London was the third and final time that Mohr would play the part and it was the next to last in the original wave of films from Columbia. It's easy to see that the series was on its final legs as everything going on here just seems like stuff we've seen countless times before and what's hurts this film so much is that every other time we've seen it it was done much, much better. The entire film has a "been there, done that" feel to it and this includes the various comic banter between Lanyard and Jamison, once again played by Eric Blore. This comic back and forth between the two started back when Warren William was still in the series and as time went on the banter got to be more and more annoying in each film. The same is true here as very rarely does anything funny happen with the lone exception being at the start when Jamison goes to visit the help's quarters. The actual mystery in the film seems to have taken a backseat as everything pretty much just plays out and there never seemed to be any wish for the viewer's to get in on the action and try to figure out what's going on. The screenplay really doesn't offer anything new and that's not a good thing. Mohr isn't too bad in his part but you can't do much without a screenplay. Even Evelyn Ankers can't add much to this thing.
