Customer Reviews

so so
I had high hopes for this since I love June Storey. Ever since I saw her adorable performance in "In Old Chicago", I've been a fan. This was one of the few ventures outside of the Gene Autry territory for her. It's too bad it's mediocre.
June Storey and Neil Hamilton play married detectives a la Thin Man but they don't have the chemistry that William Powell and Myrna Loy supplied. The plot concerns them proving Evelyn Brent's innocent of murder. It's kind hard to follow. Even with only being a hour long this movie dragged. Film quality also left much to be desired.
I hope her movie Dance Hall with Carole Landis gets released one day.
