Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe film was completed three months before its release, but Warner Bros. decided to delay the release of the film until after the birth of Joan Blondell's child so that Blondell would not be off the screen for too long a period.
- GoofsAfter Ashcraft tells Marie to get out of his room, she heads toward Rosie's room. Marie does a frantic knock on the door then tries the door handle but the door is locked. Since she wasn't aware that Dr. Sascha had locked Rosie's room; Marie should have first tried the door handle and upon discovering that it was locked then start banging on the door frantically. Glenda Farrell as the actor knowing that the door was locked caused the character to react prematurely thus leading to an error.

Featured review
could be funnier
Rosie Sturges (Joan Blondell) and best friend Marie Callahan (Glenda Farrell) are manicurists in Kansas City. Marie does not like Rosie's gangster boyfriend Dynamite Carson (Robert Armstrong). There is a ring, girl scouts, and plenty of situational comedy.
This is a gangster screwball comedy thriller. The situation is convoluted. I was expecting more from the girl scouts. There is potential for greater comedy. The concept suggests some more outrageous fun but it doesn't quite get there.
