RKO Radio Pictures
Directed by Harold Clurman
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Warner Bros.)
A sailor awakens from a drunken stupor in an apartment with a dead girl. Did he kill her? His ship leaves in the morning and he's got to prove his innocence by that time. Bill Williams plays the sailor as a wide-eyed, clean-cut, all-American boy who can't tell a lie, much less commit murder. Somehow he convinces dance hall girl Susan Hayward and cabbie Paul Lukas, who don't know him from Adam, to drop everything in the middle of the night and help him track down the real killer. It does have an unexpected twist and Susan Hayward is stunningly radiant at 29, so it is not without its pleasures.
