About The Great Detective
Ham, with his 999 disguises, is called on by Mrs. Worry to keep an eye on her husband. Armed with a photograph of hubby, the two set out on a riotous sleuthing career which ends with a bang when they find hubby at dinner with another fair lady and send the news to wifey.
Directed by Lloyd Hamilton, The Great Detective leans on a strong ensemble — Lloyd Hamilton, Bud Duncan, Eileen Godsey — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1916.
