Therest of the cast are hardly more than props with which to cue Dur-yea.The picture drags in the middle, after all, one person can't carry a whole picture by himself However, once the denouement start -, the film p cks up speed Somewhere near the clO'C. the wise moviegoer will realize that all is not what it seemsthat Smith and Sterln g Hayden, who portrays an insurance company investigator, are not quite so suspicions of Dorothy Lamour as they would have Duryea believe The story concerns the theft of *ome jewels, with their owner.Dene Hen. ev. being killed during the thefting Effort is made to throw suspicion on first one character, then another, with Duryea trying to keep the suspicion directed toward Dotty Lamour.
