Boston Blackie Goes Hollywood - 1942 - 6/10

Millionaire buddy Manleder asks Blackie to break into his Manhattan house safe and bring him $60 K.
Police apprehend him, then let him go. Why? There is a valuable diamond, gone missing.
Once in Los Angeles, Blackie realizes his buddy is in as much trouble as suspected.
With the New York cops in pursuit (jurisdiction in California?).
Breezy formula, too much comedy, Chester Morris effortless as the unflappable private eye.
Predictable, although perfect for lunch break.
