Viewing Notes
Not bad but really Ginger Rogers is the only reason to watch this murder mystery. She’s great but the plot in which she is dropped into the middle is not so great. Even worse when her boo Lyle Talbot spends 5 minutes explaining the killer’s motives and connections at the end. Also, the shrieking… the annoying shrieking. Too much.
