Hold That Woman introduces an awful lot of characters for a one hour movieskip tracers, policemen, gangsters, a couple of jewel thieves, a movie starlet and a policeman's daughter. It's a bit much for a while, but the story finally brings them all together for the last fifteen minutesone after another, alone and in groups, all of the characters wind up at the house where a certain much sought after radio has arrived.
What's with the radio? Well, it's not paid for .and also a girl crook has stashed some jewels in it that were stolen from a movie star who is unwittingly mixed up with another crook.
Enter James Dunn, repo man, and Frances Gifford, the girl who loves him. Dunn is working at tracking down said radio, but finds time during this particular work day not only to spend some time with lovely Gifford but to marry her, buy a house, and also purchase a houseful of used furniture and order it delivered.
It all really doesn't make much sense, but honestly, there's so much going on in this pictureand it's all presented so good-naturedlythat it would be overly picky to parse details in search of logical gaps. Suffice it to say that Dunn and Gifford look like they're having a good time and the rest of the cast do their best to keep up.
Funny line from early in the picturemother to young son: "You know, if you don't get an education, you'll grow up to be a policeman, just like your father." (To which the son replies, "Well, then I won't do my homework at all!") If you chuckle at that, then this movie is for you.
