Trivia:
Near the end of the picture, when the Reverend Whirley is being taken away on the airport runway, Joe Friday sees his true love standing there beaming on the tarmac. For a brief moment an old, four piston engine aircraft is in the background behind the actress. This aircraft is a Lockheed Constellation, which is affectionately known as a "Connie", the same first name as the Virgin Connie Swail.

I'm a big fan of the TV series, both the '50's and '60's versions, but I couldn't help watching this one on TNT. The impersonation of Joe Friday is so hilarious it hurts, and his Partner Pep Streebeck was excellent. Harry Morgan from the '60's version was in this, promoted to captain. Next time the film came on, I taped it, and laughed again. Even though it's making fun of the old series, it's fun to watch, and the acting is great. Top-notch comedy.
