The plot to this B movie has an interesting twist and although it lacks some production values, makes up for it with some nice work by the cast.
Kent Taylor is not well remembered today, but he does some subtle work in his role as the juror. Fay Wray does an exemplary job, especially after she learns to understand the reality behind the story she is covering for her newspaper. Even Halliwell Hobbes is deftly convincing after unwittingly supplying Wray's character with the information she cunningly solicits.
The only downfall to the film is the ending. It is actually rather disappointing and odd, as if they needed to wrap up the film and get on to the next one. However, the rest of the film is really quite well done despite the short length.
