Description
Hi Diddle Diddle is a black-and-white film American comedy film made in 1943 directed by Andrew L. Stone and starring Adolphe Menjou, Martha Scott, Dennis O’Keefe, June Havoc, Billie Burke, and (in a rare film appearance) Pola Negri. The title is a play on the nursery rhyme Hey Diddle Diddle and the use of diddle as a word for confidence trick. The film features animated portions from Leon Schlesinger’s studio with the fast-moving screenplay frequently breaking the fourth wall.
The film is also known as Diamonds and Crime (American reissue title).
