Lawyer/detective William Powell and his would-be wife, Ginger Rogers, combine to make a pleasant who-dun-it., 7 December 1998
6/10
Author: Arthur Hausner (genart@volcano.net) from Pine Grove, California

The plot was a bit loose and incredulous, but no movie with William Powell and Ginger Rogers can be bad. It slightly resembles the much better film, The Thin Man (1934), but it was fun nevertheless. Powell and Rogers have good chemistry together and provide some of the comedy with their antics, with other comedy supplied by inept police officer, Robert Emmett O'Connor. I guessed who the murderer was early, but couldn't provide the motive until it was explained.
