Featured review

Snappy script provides a lot of fun

Even though "Crime Does Not Pay" is the message here, Joan Blondell and Chester Morris play the wisecracks with style. Definitely a feminist slant to a story of a woman crime-boss wannabe who refuses to have sex with her co-workers. Entertaining and involving (I joined the heroine in her desire to save her frontman from the hitmen's bullets), although the ending was a little hard to take. Good stuff from Sterling Holloway as a friendly cab-driver.

Goofs
When Blondie is talking to Danny at his apartment, she is reclining on the sofa with her legs stretched out straight. But on the next immediate cut when Danny confronts her; she is now sitting up with her legs in a folded position.

Quotes
Danny Jones: Gee I can't eat, I can't sleep. Why I've gone around all day with nobody in my head but you.
Blondie Johnson: Bet you had a tough time getting your hat over both of us.
Danny Jones: Well you make me sick. If you was my dame I'd break your neck.
Blondie Johnson: If I was your dame I'd deserve it.
