Sam Katzman Refuses Credit!
4 April 2017
If good publicity is when they spell your name right, why didn't Sam Katzman take credit for this? It has a pretty good cast for a Poverty Row production, including Wallace Ford and Barbara Pepper as a couple of hotel detectives looking to get married to each other, Joan Woodbury and Clara Kimball Young. It takes place at a hotel across the state line where the couple can get married without delay, but there is a series of murders, which seem to be committed by a police dog.

This being a Sam Katzman production, there are problems. Director Robert Hill seems to be unhappy with sound; all the actors speak very loudly and clearly in group shots, as if they are in a cavernous theater. The dialogue is moderately dopey. The editing by Dan Milner is moderately brisk; he would work as an editor into the 1960s and even direct a few movies, including FROM HELL IT CAME, which is probably best remembered for the review "And to hell it can go."
