Simply A Masterpiece

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Nancy Drew and her lawyer father, Carson, set off for the country to help out an old family friend wrongly accused of murder. Conveniently for Nancy, her friend Ted Nickerson and his family are vacationing nearby. She quite naturally ropes Ted into helping her with her investigations. But this time, Nancy may have bitten off more than she can chew. From ghostly encounters to high flying danger, Nancy will have to be careful if she's to catch a killer.I'm kicking myself for not watching these Nancy Drew movies sooner. I only wish I had about a half-dozen more to go instead of just one. Of the three Nancy Drew movies I've seen so far, Nancy Drew…Trouble Shooter is my favorite. While the plot may hardly matter (the killer's identity is not much of a mystery - in fact, it's NO mystery), that doesn't mean the movie isn't entertaining. There's plenty of action in this well paced movie with Nancy facing and overcoming obstacle after obstacle. From burning barns to burning dinner, the set-pieces are all enjoyable. Bonita Granville is as delightful as ever in the title role. She has such an infectious nature that it's impossible not to be a fan of her performance. In this installment, I was really impressed with Frankie Thomas as Ted. With a nice sense of comic timing, he plays the put upon boyfriend to perfection. And I liked the fact that John Litel as Carson Drew is given a bigger part and a romantic interest. My only real complaint would be with the character Apollo Johnson played by Willie Best. I'm certainly no crusader for political correctness, but I still have difficulty watching the shuffling, "Yassuh!" type characters played by black actors in the 30s.

Nancy Drew battles to prove that her uncle Matt is innocent of murder. Nancy also battles her father Carson Drew but not over how to prove her uncle innocent but over his love life. Mr Drew has been single for many years but meets Edna Gregory, a single woman that likes him. What, another woman for Mr Drew, heavens no!, not for Nancy's father! She enlists the help of her friend Ted to battle this Gregory woman. But love transcends all ages as Ted is bitten by the "cupid" arrow also. Fine performance by John Litel and Charlotte Wynters "Drew & Gregory" make this Nancy Drew film one of the best ever made. The ending will also take your breathe away as Nancy becomes co-air pilot w/Ted a self taught "by book" pilot. So I leave these questions with you, can Nancy free her uncle? Can Nancy stop her father from asking a certain question?

By far, this was one of the better Nancy Drew's, with Ms. Granville. When her Uncle Matt is accused of murder, the best lawyer Carson must take the case, and naturally Nancy goes with him.Since Carson is not a townie, he comes in under scrutiny but gets Matt out of prison for a little while. During this time, he meets a beautiful woman who catches his fancy, much to Nancy's dismay. Since Ted is also in town, she enlists him to dissuade her father. Naturally Ted falls for the loveliness of the woman and Nancy's troubles amount.The whole resolution was done masterfully. It showed a maturation of Nancy and dealing with another woman in Carson's life.The mystery of the killer was rather simple, but interesting with Ted along. Frankie and Bonita were great with each other. I wish they had done more together.A great movie to watch - so pop your corn, grab a soda and don;t miss a minute of this very cute endeavor of a movie.

Though I've enjoyed the four Warner Bros. Nancy Drew films for their fast pace, snappy dialog and light touch, Bonita Granville doesn't bear much resemblance to the hyper-perfect Nancy of the long-running series of novels. The main drawback to the literary Nancy is that she's too perfect, even winning a golf tournament against a superior, more experienced player in THE HAUNTED BRIDGE. In TROUBLESHOOTER, (which bears the least resemblance to the books of any of the four films), Nancy's perfection is taken down a few notches: she can't drive (rear-ending several parked cars, constantly taking her hands off the wheel in her excitement), she can't cook (making a veritable Lucy of the kitchen), she allows the bad guys to destroy evidence -- why, she's as scared of ghosts as Willie Best and she can't even fly an airplane! NANCY DREW, TROUBLESHOOTER, with its general lack of mystery and constant slapstick, is essentially a parody of Nancy Drew. Fun, and satisfying in a slightly sadistic way, but nothing like the books.
