Will Nancy find Maya in time to save her?
It's a race against the clock for Nancy Drew, and there are many people who could be involved in her friend's disappearance. The girl's fate is tied to the Royal Palladium Theater, and if the theater goes down, Maya goes with it.
Maya is nowhere to be found, and a sinister phone call confirms that the girl is in serious danger. A scream alerts Nancy that her friend is in danger, but the girl detective arrives at the scene too late. The important thing is watching Nancy and the gang get to the final solution.Nancy heads to the concession stand while Maya starts interviewing the actor. It's quite obvious from the start what has happened to the old woman Nancy is looking for. The mystery elements of Nancy Drew - Detective hardly matter. The supporting players, particularly John Litel as Carson Drew and Frankie Thomas as Ted Nickerson, also add a lot of enjoyment to the movie. It's hard to watch her and not have a smile on your face. She has an infectious charm that dominates the entire movie. I cannot come up with enough positives to write about Bonita Granville.
And though Nancy Drew - Detective is a breezy affair, it's still very enjoyable. Sure, I'm a fan of 1930s-style mysteries like the Charlie Chan or Falcon series, but from afar, I've always thought of the Nancy Drew movies too lightweight and fluffy in comparison (though when I think about it, there's nothing deep and meaningful about Chan or any of the other movies I've enjoyed for years). Can Nancy, with the help of her friend Ted Nickerson (Frankie Thomas), find and rescue the old woman? Honestly, I wasn't expecting to enjoy Nancy Drew - Detective quite as much as I did. And when Nancy witnesses the local doctor being kidnapped, she's sure she's on the right track. But when she disappears before the gift can be finalized, Nancy immediately suspects foul play. Mary Eldredge, a wealthy older woman, is prepared to make a substantial donation to the school Nancy Drew (Bonita Granville) attends.
