More or less ignored for 75 years, this curious ‘B’ program picture now finds its way directly to a Warner Archive Blu-ray release. Cult actor Lawrence Tierney has an atypical ‘swell guy’ role as a Marine veteran thrust into a murder mystery and made the fall guy for nefarious foreign spies. Anne Jeffreys becomes his co-fugitive when the villains frame him for murder. It’s like a fancy 1960s romantic thriller, except on a micro scale. Just the same, Phil Rosen’s movie crams a lot of incident into its brisk 62 minutes. Consider it a gift to Lawrence Tierney fans — they might like him in a role that Cary Grant could play.

Gettin’ crafty! Mira Sorvino, husband Chris Backus and their two eldest kids — Mattea Angel, 6½, and Johnny Christopher King, 5 – were snapped visiting the 77kids by American Eagle booth Sunday at the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation‘s A Time for Heroes Carnival in Los Angeles. Toddler Holden Paul Terry, who turns 2 this month, sat this one out.
“There’s kind of an image of, ‘Yay – the happy working mom!’ and everything works out so well, but it’s really difficult to juggle,” Sorvino, 43, has said. ”There’s no such thing as the supermom who does it all and it’s all perfect.
