At first it's hard to conceive of Ginger Rogers as a brunette, with a wad of gum in her mouth, talking like she came out of Brooklyn, New York. Nonetheless, you will get used to her and she gives quite an amazing performance as the damsel up on charges for murder.
This movie is a tribute to sensationalism and that even accused murderers will do anything to keep themselves viable in the news.
A year after her gut-wrenching Oscar nominated performance in the memorable "How Green Was My Valley," Sara Allgood is reduced and wasted in the role of Mrs. Morton. The part was greatly lengthened for Queen Latifah.
Highlights include Ginger and George Montgomery dancing to the Rock Bottom. Sara and Spring Byington, as the lady reporter, Mary Sunshine, try to keep up with the tapping. Byington never looked younger than in this film.
William Frawley looks like a younger Fred Mertz here and does some pretty good scene stealing as the bartender and juror member.
