Reviews
I was a fan of Chester Morris. He managed to deliver a quickly paced dialogue amusingly well, without it seeming forced or strained. This is one of his better efforts, with half decent dialogue from Winston Miller and a better the average foil in Nancy Kelly ("Pat"). It is centred around the antics at a magazine, where she is brought in as a photographer to liven up their rather staid publication, and of the interesting/bonkers folks who own/work for it. The plot offers us a few more quirk than usual, too - and though we are never really in doubt about what's going to happen; the road is agreeably bumpy for much of the hour this takes. Not bad at all...
