Crime Control

In Crime Control, a police officer takes center stage to deliver a comedic monologue about the perils of everyday objects. Through a series of humorous examples, he points out the hazards posed by seemingly innocent items like shoelaces, window shades, and bedroom slippers. The film cleverly satirizes the notion of reasoning with inanimate objects, making light of their quirks and hazards.

This film's comedic approach to a police officer's warnings about inanimate dangers offers a humorous reflection of the era's societal norms. The combination of Benchley's comedic talent and the absurdity of the premise provides a unique viewing experience. As a piece from the early 1940s, it captures a specific style of humor that may appeal to collectors interested in vintage comedy and Paramount's film history.
