COMMENT: Despite the title, this is actually not much of a murder mystery. It's actually a screwball, romantic comedy - and a very amusing and pleasant one at that!
And despite the movie's short running time which would seem to indicate that it was intended as a "B" attraction, a really fine cast and crew have been assembled here - and all on the foundation of a really clever script developed by Michael L. Simmons from an original by that screen story specialist, Robert T. Shannon.
