Conniving Broadway starlet Mida King (Patricia Dane) has plenty of enemies, so when she's found murdered at Grand Central Station, Inspector Gunther (Sam Levene) calls together a slew of suspects for questioning. Mida's shady ex-flame, Turk (Horace McNally), seems the most likely culprit, but when smart-mouthed private eye Rocky Custer (Van Heflin) -- also a suspect himself -- begins to piece together the crime, a few clues that Gunther has overlooked come to light.

This is a diverting little B movie. If you like a good whodunit, such as you might expect from Sam Levene and Tom Conway, this one will keep you guessing right to the end.

Grand old noir. Does well for what it does, think Blobbo.

I've always found Van Heflin an odd movie star, but he actually does alright in the average murder mystery. Van plays a detective investigating the murder of a actress, Patricia Dane. The story is a pretty routine mystery where everyone has a motive, but it's fast paced and reasonably entertaining. Patricia Dane is a particular standout as the murdered Broadway actress who is seen throughout the film in flashbacks. I think I'm going to have to check out more of her films. he film also feature Tom Conway, who is not quite as good as his brother, but who I always enjoy.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Tries to be a Thin Man movie, but it is only a mediocre copy, just like George Sanders brother, who is in this as one of the suspects is only a poor copy of the original.
