I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

A waste of 90 minutes of my life

If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

Married to a much older man, former dancer Kay Francis finds herself being blackmailed by her amorous former partner and heads off to Havana for a little R&R. She finds herself spending time with the handsome George Brent whom she is unaware is a private detective hired by her husband! The nights of champagne, caviar and dancing make her giddy, but it's obvious that the revelation won't fall well with Francis when she finds out!Amusing pre-code melodrama is more about the clothes, sets and dialog than the plot of which there is very little. Francis and Brent are a perfect pair, and providing comic relief are Allen Jenkins as a detective posing as Brent's valet and Glenda Farrell as an obvious gold digger. Henry Kolker's foolish older tycoon husband is up there with Edward Arnold and Otto Kruger as late middle aged men who got younger women to marry them, remaining pretty much sexless. This is fun for the glitz, but really has little else to offer other than the four leads and the fantasy that only pre-code Hollywood could give.

Get ready for some Kay Francis melodramatic fun! Kay is married to Henry Kolker, but a past suitor shows up to blackmail her with the fact they're still married. She goes to her much older sister-in-law for her advice. She says that, if Kay can get him out of the country, she can make it so that he can't get back into America. Their plan is that Kay asks for a vacation away from her husband for this purpose, but hubbie is jealous and suspicious. He hires an investigator to follow her and report her movements to him. Similar to Doris Day's "Romance on the High Seas," investigator George Brent then tails Kay and in the process falls for her and she him. Provocatively titled "The Keyhole," this film delivers melodrama with humor and Kay and George have always had great screen chemistry. They made many a film together because of it. Their scenes together are seductive and glamorous fun! Glenda Farrell and Allen Jenkins are part of the dependable supporting cast, and Henry Kolker has a great scene near the end of the film. "The Keyhole" is a great example Pre-Code storytelling! Turn the key and come in - and, lock the door!

OK... I've been more or less watching Kay Francis films and am I the only one who noticed George Brent always ends up being the boyfriend?? Well the basic plot of this thing is Kay's first husband is blackmailing her.Her current husband thinks she's cheating or something. And the P.I. falls in love with her. I'm an old movie fan but people fall in love as easy as I can scramble an egg This formula of the long suffering Kay wears on me thin. Yeah she's pretty but I'm being to understand why no one remembers her. Youknow at first I liked her movies. But after what feels like I'm watching the same movie it gets on my nerves. And I used to like George Brent, but the more I see him the duller he gets. I did like the side story with the "vallet" and the con artist but besides that it was OK. What I didn't get why didn't Kay just tell her husband the truth instead of this dumb plot .I guess if she did she wouldn't have a chance to fall for George Brent I gave it 6 for the clothes and that it moved fast.

Peeping through THE KEYHOLE we find an unhappy wife who sails to Cuba to shake off a blackmailing former lover, not knowing that her millionaire husband has sent a handsome detective to compromise her...This elaborately plotted little picture is a very fine example of the kind of film Warner Bros. produced so effortlessly in the 1930's. Frothy, a bit silly & fun, it boasts entertaining performances and good production values. Depression audiences sat through scores of movies just like this, generally well made, but with interchangeable plots & stars.Kay Francis & George Brent handle the romantic situations very nicely. Sophisticated & charming, they keep their stock characters from ever becoming dull. The humor is supplied by brassy blonde Glenda Farrell as a gold digging shill & dumb-as-dirt detective Allen Jenkins.Henry Kolker as the suspicious husband, Helen Ware as his elderly, sympathetic sister, and Monroe Owsley as the oily Lothario, all add to the fun in their supporting roles. Especially enjoyable is little Ferdinand Gottschalk, appearing in only one scene as a comically flirtatious old banker.Movie mavens will recognize sour-faced Clarence Wilson as the head of the detective agency.
