Well hold on to your hats folks, I think even the Three Stooges might have had a hard time keeping up with Heather Angel in this feisty romp. Twenty five years old and getting older every day, her character Anne Gladden decides to live it up for a day and ends up in a stolen limousine with a dead body in the back seat. It's pretty incomprehensible for most of the story why a young man she picks up along the way gets involved in the escapade, but it's later revealed that the vehicle actually belongs to Larry Cameron (John King).
If you're like me, you'll find yourself scratching your head over a number of scenes. Like society matron Mrs. Breckenridge - how is it she was holding a pet dog when a cop pulled her chauffeur over, but didn't have one earlier when she had tea with Anne at the filling station? And how about Cameron bringing Anne into his home - didn't it look like they stepped into a bright and shiny TV commercial for modern kitchen appliances of the day? But the best was the final scene when Anne brings Larry home to meet granny, and even though they're still at the front door, granny greets them from the comfort of her bed. Where exactly was that, in the living room?
Yes, movie viewers, this one truly defies classification. Not exactly a murder mystery, and not exactly a comedy, but you'll probably think you've seen elements of both. It's certainly entertaining in an odd sort of way, but you'll have to leave your thinking cap at the door.
