Featured review
another ames & doubleday chapter
Stars Joe Sawyer and William Tracy, again, as two guys just out of the service. And Betty Compson, although MUCH later than her starring role in "Street Girl" from 1929. Compson had started as a touring violinist, and easily moved into hollywood films, and formed her own production company. By 1948, she was a bit on in years. She had made over 200 films, but THIS film was the last one she would make! Co-stars Emory Parnell and Joan Woodbury ( ??) This one is kind of silly and over the top. One is a reporter, and the other is a cop on the beat. No magic among the actors. just feels like forced laughter. it's okay. thankfully, this one is only 55 minutes. and they would make two more films together after this. meh. not my favorite. Tracy died quite young at 49, but no-one seems to know the cause. Directed by Fred Guiol, who worked on some biggies (Giant, Gunga Din).
