One of my favourites. It's not a classic, but it's a good
solid little B film that gets the job done, full of great
throwaway lines.
Private eye Bradford Galt (Mark Stevens) is framed by his
partner and sent to the hoosegow. After he's sprung, all he
wants to do is start afresh. Unfortunately, now someone else
seems to be setting him up, trying to force him into that
"dark corner" all over again. About the only one who believes
him is his loyal, long-suffering secretary Kathleen, played
by then-unknown Lucille Ball, whose ballsy, assured
performance is a revelation. Too bad Steven's performance is
a little lackluster.
Someone a little more prone to scenery chewing might have
lifted this film up a notch. Though it's entire low-key
approach might be part of its charm.
