Classic Movies - Irish Luck - 1939

About

Irish Luck is a 1939 American comedy, mystery/adventure film directed by Howard Bretherton. The story follows Buzzy O’Brien, a sharp and energetic young hotel bellhop who becomes entangled in a murder investigation after a hotel guest is found dead. When the police mistakenly suspect Kitty Monahan, Buzzy steps in to help her escape and hide, using his quick thinking and street smarts to unravel the truth behind the crime. A blend of lighthearted humor and mystery, the film features Frankie Darro as Buzzy O’Brien and Mantan Moreland as Jefferson, contributing to the film’s comedic tone. Though modest in scale, it's a classic example of Monogram Pictures' fast-paced “B-film” mysteries of the era.
