Old Mother Riley investigates the disappearance of food during the war, a serious crime because of rationing. PlotThe film opens with a night watchman being bludgeoned, as a safe is cracked open in the offices of the District Food Controller. A list of wartime foods to be rationed is stolen, and the police fear gangsters are planning to sell the foods on the black market. As the office charwoman, Old Mother Riley's fingerprints are all over the safe, and she becomes the police's number one suspect. To prove her innocence, Mother Riley turns detective, adopting various methods and disguises to track down the villains.[2][3] Cast
Critical receptionTV Guide wrote of the film, "a lifeless effort...The gangster premise is merely an excuse for Lucan to try out some humorous bits (in drag, of course), but the picture is too padded to hold much interest."[4] Kinematograph Weekly noted, "one of Arthur Lucan's and the series' best efforts."[5]References1. ^Old Mother Riley, Detective 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://explore.bfi.org.uk/4ce2b6b0705eb |title=Old Mother Riley, Detective | BFI | BFI |publisher=Explore.bfi.org.uk |date= |accessdate=2014-02-22}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://vintage45.wordpress.com/2011/10/13/old-mother-riley-detective-1943/ |title=Old Mother Riley-Detective (1943) | Vintage45's Blog |publisher=Vintage45.wordpress.com |date=2011-10-13 |accessdate=2014-02-22}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://movies.tvguide.com/old-mother-riley-detective/review/108053 |title=Old Mother Riley, Detective Review |publisher=Movies.tvguide.com |date= |accessdate=2014-02-22}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=G9jnAAAAIAAJ&pg=PA48&dq=Old+Mother+Riley+Detective&hl=en&sa=X&ei=a7wYUpWvBMmZhQf0m4DgDQ&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=Old%20Mother%20Riley%20Detective&f=false |title=Lance Comfort - Brian McFarlane - Google Books |publisher=Books.google.co.uk |date= |accessdate=2014-02-22}} External links
