From 1937, "Love Under Fire" stars Loretta Young, Don Ameche, Frances Drake, John Carradine, and Harold Huber.
Ameche plays Tracy Egan of Scotland Yard. He is vacationing when the Spanish Civil War begins, and he's called by his office with an assignment. He is to find and arrest one Myra Cooper (Young), who has stolen the fabulous Peralta pearl necklace.
Tracy has already met the beautiful Ms. Cooper and announces that this will be an easy job. Perhaps it would have been, but getting out of Spain is proving difficult. Not only that, but the real thief (Drake) joins the party. And Tracy and Myra have fallen in love.
It's not very good, but it goes from not very good to awful when Borrah Minevitch and His Gang appear. They are harmonica players, and Borrah actually became a millionaire.
I could have sworn I saw Johnny Puleo from The Ed Sullivan Show as part of the group. Reading up on it, he apparently was until he formed his own group. This is a short film, and they seem to be on screen for hours.
I love the leads, and Ameche actually has a song, and it's lovely. That's about it.
