Powell Is Again An Amateur Sleuth
1 June 2022
What do a disappearing Broadway actress, Myrna Loy, and Ginger Rogers have in common? William Powell of course. In this screwball-tinged mystery directed by Stephen Roberts, Powell is the amateur sleuth, lawyer and bon vivant, with Miss Rogers in hot pursuit, caught up in a murder with his fingers on the murder weapon.

A fine cast, including Paul Kelly, Gene Lockhart, J. Farrell MacDonald, and Vivien Oakland offer a lot of fun. If it isn't well known, it's because Roberts died the next year, and what could compare with Powell's turn in THE THIN MAN, still in theaters when this was released.
