The Missing Wife

1937 · 85 min

A light, gentle old-fashioned comedy of misunderstandings, easy to watch and mildly amusing rather than laugh-out-loud.

Overview
An official justice assistant supposes behind a letter which falls to him by chance in the hands, a crime and gets going with his crimi-sleuthing energy an unclear confusion.
