I've Got Your Number

“This is another fast, fascinating and little-seen Warner Brothers picture, once again proving how that studio's style could make entertainment from what by rights should be the dullest of milieus. I've Got Your Number begins as an episodic paean to that modern wonder, the telephone. (‘Hello, Sing Sing? This is the governor...', ‘Hello? Your husband is on his way upstairs...' and other essential communications.) Pat O'Brien, as a troubleshooting linesman, and Joan Blondell, as a hotel switchboard operator, make for perfectly matched, wisecracking antagonists, with frog-voiced Eugene Pallette as their supervisor. Eventually the comedy settles into a plotline--even O'Brien calls it ‘kinda daffy'--in which Blondell becomes the dupe of pin-striped con men. It's nothing, however, that O'Brien can't put right with a few well-placed wiretaps.” Scott Simmon, The Mary Pickford Theater
