HE MAKES IT!"; about an English newspaper reporter who as a practical joke tells his editor a man was murdered, and before he can say he was joking the editor hangs up and runs the story, but then it turns out the man WAS murdered, only it happened a couple of hours AFTER the phone call, which makes the reporter the prime suspect in the murder!) starring Barry K. Barnes, Valerie Hobson, Alastair Sim, John Warwick, and Philip Leaver. Not that this English movie was clearly influenced by the very successful series of "Thin Man" movies that had started at MGM four years before, because it bears many similarities, including having the reporter and his wife working together and being lushes!
