Ted B 2.5 stars; A hotshot newspaperman loses his job for insubordination. Down on his luck, he hits the road and meets a girl also down on her luck. In the 1930s, you can see where this plot is going. Together, they catch the big-time criminal of the day, and he gets his job back. Nothing really special here. However; Robert Armstrong did such a good job portraying a devil-may-care ace reporter who could make lemonade out of lemons, that I couldn't help but throw in some extra points for making it compelling enough that you wanted him to be a winner. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 08/08/24 Full Review Audience Member A newspaperman whose a little down on his luck gets caught up in a news story which turns his personal and professional fortunes around. Interplay between characters/actors is good. Story is charming and entertaining. Decent 1935 "film noir light" maybe... :P Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member An acceptable program picture, nothing more and nothing less.
