Ruth and Robert have just gotten married. But things are complicated by the fact that she's the daughter of the (recently accused) governor. Robert is the attorney general. Barb Stanwyck and Warren William are the happy but confused couple who aren't sure what to do. They need to stay out of the spotlight, while helping her father, and trying not to make things worse. Co-stars Grant Mitchell, Glenda Farrell, Douglass Dumbrille. It's very good. Interesting legal angles. Stanwyck still has the un-polished, young girl appearance and movements. She doesn't have the knowing, dark edge to her that she will show so well in Double Indemnity. This was years before some of Stanwyck's even bigger roles. William was known for playing Perry Mason, Philo Vance, and the lone wolf, but sadly would die at 53. Directed by Bill Dieterle. Based on Leonard Ide's play "Concealment". Can this group get things all straightened out before it all hits the fan?
