Featured review
Dorothy Patrick plays a young actress hired by mobsters to play the long lost daughter of parolee Beery to access his fortune. Beery's protege from prison days, Tom Drake, becomes her boyfriend. By the time Patrick spills to Beery that his real daughter is deceased the family bonds have been forged. Clever ending with a nightclub shoot out wraps up this B length feature. The lone flaw is that Gladys George has too small of a role. This is a distant cousin of Vertigo where the actress hired in a criminal deception also gets personally involved. Beaumont's no nonsense direction and MGM quality, vintage 1948, make this entertaining and effortless.
