Hold That Woman!

About This Movie

So, 'Hold That Woman!' is this quirky little comedy-crime flick from 1940 directed by Sam Newfield. You get this skip tracer—a guy who hauls back unpaid goods—who unwittingly gets entangled with a gang that just heisted some diamonds. The pacing is a bit zany, with this light-hearted tone that's peppered with absurd situations. The performances have that classic, almost slapstick vibe, especially in how characters react to the chaos around them. What really stands out is how it balances comedy and crime without losing its charm. Plus, it has some fun practical effects that give it a nice vintage feel. It’s a solid example of early 40s B-cinema that has its own unique flavor.
