Love the movies in the 50's w/ Rhonda Fleming, 14 June 2001
Author: Ray Mack (Raymond_31923@msn.com) from Rochester, NY

This movie showed Rhonda Fleming in a subdued part as a secretary to a town politico. She's one of my favorite actresses from the 50's, and was one of the most beautiful ever to grace the screen. John Payne was lucky enough to have a couple romantic scenes with her.

Back in the 50's, kissing scenes were far more romantic and tantalizing than today. Wish I could have bottled Rhonda Fleming!
