Stage Struck (1948)
4/10
About what you'd expect from Monogram
26 January 2023
Monogram Pictures was a very prolific small studio that specialized in making B-movies. In general, their output was just fair...entertaining but also filled with cheaply made pictures with mostly second and third-tier actors. "Stage Struck" is pretty much average for the studio.

A hostess in a night club is found murdered and the cops seem baffled and unable to solve the crime. So, the dead woman's sister, on her own, decides to get a job with the agency that places these hostesses in various clubs in the hope she'll be able to dig up incriminating evidence. Unfortunately, she isn't particularly bright and she nearly gets herself killed playing amateur cop.

The acting in this one is purely adequate...and the story really lets you down near the end because the lady investigating seems a bit dim. She makes a lot of silly blunders and instead of being the smart, confident woman the film wants you to believe, she instead seems a bit dippy. A time-passer and nothing more.
