According to IMDB, "Cheating Blondes" was originally 66 minutes long. However, the version I found on YouTube was only 49...meaning that it appears as if someone sliced out 15 minutes of the film....nearly a quarter of the film! So, keep this in mind as you read, as a complete copy of "Cheating Blondes" might just be a better or worse movie.
Early in the story, Ann Merrick (Thelma Todd) is attacked by a man bent on raping her. A shot rang out...and the guy is dead (good riddance). But in the confusion, Ann disappears and then re-appears some time later, pretending to be Ann's identical twin, Elaine. This is a pretty silly gimmick, that's for sure.
So is it any good? Well, it's always nice to see Thelma Todd in a movie, but the goofy plot idea to me seems awfully hard to believe. Still, it's not a bad time-passer AND you get to see Miss Todd dressed up as a giant butterfly!
