A dark night in war time, with several black-outs, it's just a night for murder. Susan Cooper, a fast-talking girl reporter, doubles as amateur sleuth solving yet another mystery among Hollywood's famous.
This is a decent mystery, with an emphasis on comedy, mainly wisecracks, which I found amusing. The mystery element is simple, the deduction as well, and the script is quite thin and lacks polish, however Glenda Farrell as the wisecracking reporter and Lyle Talbot lift this above its standard. Elsewhere, there are also fine performances to be had from Ralph Sanford as a dumb policeman ( he cracks me up) and Forrest Taylor. There are some tense moments; it's not outstanding but it's entertaining enough.
