Edna likes and admires a lot of policemen, but, listening to her talk about policemen, you can get the impression that they spend most of their energy trying to deny her access to information that she is meant to have.

 The Man Who Knew Too Much (1935) Starring: Leslie Banks, Edna Best, Peter Lorre - Three Movie Buffs Review
