Opiniones destacadas
In fact, the film, as directed by Christy Cabanne doesn't hold the viewer's attention. The plot doesn't make too much sense, as it appears to have been done as a B movie to fill a double bill, so popular at the time.
The best thing in the movie are some of the supporting cast members. Herbert Mundin makes the best impression as the faithful valet. Alan Bruce, William Brisbane, and Paul Guilfoyle are seen in minor roles.
As far as Joan Fontaine, one wouldn't have guessed how far she would go judging for her participation in the film.
Watch it as a curiosity.
This is an early film for Joan Fontaine. She and Foster have a bit of chemistry but they don't have enough time together. The better plot is for them to somehow join forces to uncover this corruption. The ice scene is fun but there isn't enough of them.
Regardless of the reasoning for announcing he was running for mayor, eventually Foster takes the role seriously and jumps in to the fray--only to see first-hand just how corrupt the police chief is. Foster's job from then on is to expose this crook, though new girlfriend Fontaine doesn't understand and takes it all very personally.
Aside from the appearance by Joan Fontaine in one of her earliest films, there's not a lot to distinguish this film--though it is occasionally fun and is a decent time-passer. You could do worse, but you could also do a lot better.
