Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAlthough this was not an official sequel, Allyn Joslyn and Evelyn Keyes had played similar characters in Dangerous Blondes (1943) the previous year. Joslyn plays a comic book artist here and a crime fiction writer in "Dangerous Blondes". In both stories Keyes plays his wife, and they act as amateur sleuths. Jack Henley worked on the script for both films.
- GoofsWhen Bills sees his wife in the rear view mirror of the truck, the numbers on the car's front license plate are not reversed as they should be.
Featured review
One star worth seven stars
This was not a good attempt at recreating the success of The Thin Man series. Most of the stars from me are for Evelyn Keyes, who did a great job whenever she was on screen. Sadly, when she was not on screen the movie really had nothing going for it. Her physical comedy was great to watch, and she held nothing back in 'selling' her character. The three actors playing police clearly had a hard time holding on to her, when she was beating them senseless at the police station. The movie was short, and otherwise harmless enough, to watch once for one good performance. But then I do like the period movies.
