Help please - 40s Dog Movie

[Senator Jack]

Going crazy again. Anyone recall a 40s picture about a man and a woman who die and come back as a dog and a cat, or perhaps it was a dog and a cat that come back as a man and a woman? I had thought William Powell was in it, but a search turned up nothing. Can't remember much else about it except that I saw it a few times as an extremely young lad. It was black and white. At the end they go back up to heaven.

Regards,

Senator Jack

I think I know this one

It sounds like You Never Can Tell with Dick Powell.
Dick Powell is the human version of a dog that was killed. He tries to solve the murder as a P.I named Rex King. Powell spoofs his tough gumshoe persona. I thought his cohort was a woman who had been a horse.
I hope that is the one about which you were thinking.

Sinverely,
The Wolf

Aaargh, that was it, Wolf! I should have thought of Dick Powell. I wonder if it's as good as I remember it. I'll have to find it.

Thanks for solving this one for me.

I've never seen it but it sounds delightful!

The only movie I can think of at the top of my head ,with a story line like that is, 'O Heavenly Dog' that stars Chevy Chase. But it's an 80's movie....Pretty good though

That's one of my favorites. Oh, and it's Rex Shepherd and his assistant is a woman who used to be a racehorse. I taped it years ago. We watch it all the time.

Check ebay Trix

And that has to be a remake.

There are so many movies that we think are new, but they are actually retakes of old movies. Groundhog Day for instance, is one that I heard was a revamp of an old movie using the same basic plotline.

Trickeration, you got me

I forgot the name was Rex Sheperd. I remembered it was a good dog name.
I still get half points though.:eusa_doh:

That is a movie I wish "they" would put on DVD.

Sincerely,
The Wolf
