ashley h Slightly Dangerous is an entertaining film. It is about a girl who fakes her death to leave and go to the city where she poses as millionaire's long lost daughter. Lana Turner and Robert Young give fantastic performances. The screenplay is good but kinda drops at the end. Wesley Ruggles still did a decent job directing this movie. I liked this motion picture because of the romance. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member "slightly dangerous" drops the ball a little at the end, by making everything wrap up nice and neat in a little package, when it could have taken a more creative route. but there are a lot of good laughs and fun performances, that make this a very enjoyable flick. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Read all reviews
