Featured review
Suffers from a poor script
As charming as Joan Blondell is, she can't save this silly script. She plays a nurse who is planted by the police in a mansion where a man has been died to find out whether it was murder. There's a lot of slinking around at night and suspicious characters, but not a whole lot of it makes any sense. I liked the camera angles and some of the shots that Lloyd Bacon gives us along the way, but when he pauses for the romance and banter between Blondell and George Brent the film suffers, because the chemistry just isn't there. Blondell was cranking out about 9 films a year during the early years of her career, and you can do much better in her filmography in 1932 alone (e.g. Union Depot or Three on a Match).
Quote: "I sometimes wonder how far you'd get if these wicked criminals didn't go around catching themselves. You know, come to think of it, you've arrested practically everyone in this cast (sic) except me."
