Joan Bennett is a manicurist/reporter, and Cary Grant is a police detective. They have a few funny lines in "Big Brown Eyes"; and, along comes Walter Pidgeon with his gang of jewel thieves. The main problem, for me, was the clash between the humor, and the crime drama. The major crime is the accidental shooting of a baby, in its baby carriage, in the park - the scene give you a jolt, and kills the "comedy". Later, a man is shot after he delivers a witty line. It doesn't mix well.
Ms. Bennett and Mr. Grant are the main attraction; they are fun to watch, and show promise as a movie "team". I did not care much for the story (or the slanted camera angles), however.
