      Audience Member The chemistry between Bob Montgomery and Roz Russell make this routine mystery a fun view. This was Rosalind's last film as a B level actress, The Women was her next picture and she soared to the top ranks. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member MGM B movie from that magic year 1939, feels more like an A pic Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Not nearly as good as the Thin Man series that it mimics, but still very entertaining. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member not bad murder-mystery Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Pure awesome. One of the very best Thin Man knockoffs. Montgomery and Russell were one of the best screen teams of the 1930s, and their chemistry and banter is at its best here. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
