Specializing in chasing their own tails.. I enjoyed this one. Good acting and pretty darn good plot.

★★★★ · Not too bad. · unclepup · 2012-10-30

This was kind of fun and a good chance to see the streets of Los Angeles in 1940. A nice role for Miss Rita La Roy, her final credited screen appearance.

★★★★ · So nice · ghostmadl · 2013-06-28

James Dunn is always a treat. And this one was a pretty good story line. I first saw him in a Shirley Temple movie and have loved him ever since!
