Adapted from the "Nancy Drew" novel, "The Password to Larkspur Lane," first published in 1933. The original author of the novel was Walter Karig (using the Stratemayer Syndicate house pseudonym, "Carolyn Keene"). In the "Nancy Drew" books, Nancy's boyfriend is named Ned Nickerson. For the 1938-39 movie series, his name was changed to Ted Nickerson (played by Frankie Thomas). moreGoofs:

I've tried looking it up but can't seem to find any reference to the importance or usage of that particular number:
2380 - twenty-three eighty.
They'd use it like, "I'll bet you twenty-three eighty that..."
or
"It was twenty three eighty million miles away" or something of that sort, but always as twenty-three eighty.
Does anyone know what that term refers to?
As for the movie itself, it was just OK.
I always pictured Nancy Drew as more sure of herself and less bungling and helpless girlie-like.
