Frances H Wallace Beery played the same kind of character he played in movies that were far more memorable than this one, because after the big build up to the end, the end itself was a huge let down. There is no way that any district attorney was going to let a murder, even one of passion, go and the character of Laura was just so horrible--you just want to strangle her! Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 07/11/20 Full Review Read all reviews
