Copyright 4 May 1944 by 20th Century-Fox Film Corp. New York opening at the Rialto: 12 May 1944. U.S. release: 4 May 1944. Australian release: 11 January 1945. 6,012 feet. 66 minutes.
SYNOPSIS: Private detective and slap-happy girl investigate the murder of the girl's uncle.
COMMENT: Smartly-directed, well-produced mystery, with an interesting script, solid production values and a good cast, all of which belie the movie's "B" status. Butterworth is excellent as usual, but this time he has a rare dramatic role. LaShelle's photography rates as nothing short of outstanding.
