Smooth as Silk

It starts out as a tale of leading lady Virginia Grey, her kid sister Jane Adams, and two men: John Litel, a theatrical producer, and young heir Kent Taylor, who has just been acquitted of a manslaughter rap, and who is guardian of his estate. There's not of catty remarks and angling for position, but it comes down to this: Litel wants Grey to marry him, and Taylor is jealous. So he shoots Litel and calls the lawyer who got him off, to confess.

It's a nice set-up, but unfortunately, despite the rather interesting premise, there isn't that much in terms of the dialogue, and Miss Adams seems rather superfluous to the plot.

This looks like it might have been a moderately successful programmer for director Charles Barton at the time, but given that ALL ABOUT EVE, even with no actual murder, would show up in a few years' time, it has aged very poorly
