The surprise ending reveals the old theme that money isn't everything or having more of it makes you yearn for even more. Quite possibly the so called wealthy couple didn't have that much as you're led to believe, unless they saw a quick opportunity to make a quick haul.
Barry Sullivan is the lawyer who gets involved with the mob. He works for an insurance company and is too quickly able to retrieve stolen merchandise.
The culprits dressed up as women who rob other ladies at a play looked as though they were Daphne and Josephine from "Some Like it Hot."
Sullivan is made to look like a victim of circumstances when he is rejected by Arlene Dahl and is refused a pay raise. As the detective on the case, George Murphy lacks the toughness here which the part should have demanded. There is a good performance by Jean Hagen, the woman who loved the Sullivan characters and is willing to bow out when it appears that he is headed back to the Dahl character.
