Torchy Blaine is a fictional female newsperson who appeared in a series of Warner Brothers "B" films during the 1930s. She was loosely based upon the Kennedy character in the MacBride and Kennedy stories by Louis Frederick Nebel, although the two characters actually only shared a common profession.
During the pre-war period, the job of newspaper reporter was one of the few movie role models that portrayed intelligent, career-oriented women. Of these role models, Torchy Blaine was perhaps the best known.
Torchy is the girlfriend of the police-detective Steve McBride. The typical plot has the resilient, very fast-talking Torchy solving the crime before her less than perceptive beau. In all but two of the films the role of Torchy Blaine was played by Glenda Farrell, and that of Steve McBride by Barton MacLane. Lola Lane played Torchy in Torchy Blane in Panama, while Jane Wyman played the rôle of Torchy in the final film, Torchy Plays with Dynamite.
The character of Torchy Blaine appeared in the following films:
