Crackerjack (1938)

Yank title "The Man with 100 Faces"

Listed as a comedy mystery, I really don't know why I stuck with this, maybe in the forlorn hope it would get better, but it didn't.
A sort of cross between Raffles and Robin Hood, "Crackerjack" is the man of mystery who mixes with the high society of London and nicks their jewels, which he then donates the proceeds of to charities.

Nobody in it I knew, apart a vague memory of the gorgeous Lilli Palmer who provided the love interest/intrigue to the ugly hero Jack Drake aka Crackerjack, and that raises again with me WHY a beautiful woman should show the least interest in a bloke with the face like the back of a bus. ALSO, yet again in this type of mystery man, why no one twigged who he was earlier.

Did he drop cabbages wherever he went?
