Torchy Blane
Torchy Blane is a fictional female reporter who appeared in a series of light "B" films during the late 1930s, which were mixtures of mystery, action, adventure and fun.
==Character==
During the pre-World War II period, 'newspaper reporter' was one of the few roles in American cinema that ''positively'' portrayed women as intelligent, competent, self-reliant, and career-oriented -- virtually equal to men. Of these role models, "Torchy Blane," was perhaps the best-known. The typical plot of movies featuring the character have the resilient, very-fast-talking Torchy solving a crime (the central element of the film's plot) before her less-than-perceptive lover -- the loud-mouthed police detective, Steve McBride -- can.
Torchy was loosely based on the ''male'' character, "Kennedy," in the ''MacBride and Kennedy'' stories by Louis Frederick Nebel; although, Torchy was more compatible with the Hays code, than a faithful on-screen adaptation of the drunkard Kennedy would have been.
Farrell had played a fast-talking reporter in an earlier Warners film, ''Mystery of the Wax Museum'' (1933), and it's likely her portrayal in that chiller led to her casting as Torchy; certainly, the characterizations are almost identical--though admittedly both roles fit neatly into Farrell's well-established persona of the brash, wise-cracking "dame."
