Franchot Tone had the voice and diction one would expect from a consummate actor, along with a memorably smooth, suave manner. Late in his career, he put his cold professionalism to good use in two chilling performances on television: "The Twilight Zone" (1961) and "The Alfred Hitchcock Hour" (1965). His co-star, Ann Sothern's militant cuteness earned her TV star status on two series of the 1950s. This dance free film, directed by Busby Berkeley, is a comedy/mystery snoozer of very slight merit, despite a good supporting cast. This was 1939 Saturday night fun before television kept people at home: a relic of a more innocent age.
