A film that captures the spirit of Nancy Drew, 9 May 2000
5/10
Author: Norman Cook from Orange County, California

Bonita Granville is an almost perfect Nancy Drew--cute and spunky. This is generally a good story, fast paced and quite humorous in spots. The only negative is the racist depiction of Apollo Johnson. By the way, the title card reads "Nancy Drew... Troubleshooter"
