I just love these old movies! No nudity, vulgarity, or other filth! These kind of movies can't be beat!! I love the style of clothing of this era Women looked so neat in their beautiful Taylor's suits and matching hats while the men looked so handsome in their neatly tailored suits, hats, and neatly styled hair cuts!! Give me an old black and white movies like this one any time! These movies always have a good plot which make them so interesting.Keep 'em coming!

I’m delighted that So-Many of Us love good-films, regardless of age (the Viewer’s OR the Film’s) — for the stories, acting, directing, cinematography, producing, etc; empty, billion-dollar ‘block-busters’ don’t satisfy a huge-majority of Viewers!

❤. Love the “meat” in these old movies. Todays’ movies are full of fluff… explosions, sex, dad jokes… no storyline at all. Thank you for sharing!

This movie had a good plot, a well-written script, pacing, and acting from the primary and supporting cast. It was worthwhile entertainment.

A D.A. that packs a heater and gets right in the thick of things. These old movies are great fun to watch! 👍

Absolutely I loved it. No movie made today can't come close with writings, actors acting, plots, another black & white gold star movie.

A cracking '40s Hollywood film, great in every aspect: script, plot, directing, acting; an absolute black & white golden oldie...

Opening scene: I love how even criminals used to dress up for work

"Close the office one night a month. It's only fair to the mice." These wise guys are SO funny! Thanks for this.

I enjoyed this one very much! Miss Chapman and Mr. Menjou were terrific.

It is a wonderful movie, made when I was 6 yrs old. I didn't know some people were so creative in those days, better than today's crap. Thanks for a good afternoon movie. I enjoyed it.

Wow classy stuff, can’t believe I hadn’t come across this. O’Keeffe, Menjou, Chapman all on top form and great supporting from Colouris, and Steven Geray as the villains. Brilliant.

Great to see these fantastic old movies. It is such a pity that they are destroyed by so many long and annoying advertisements. To many interruptions make viewing a irritating experience.

Marguerite Chapman was absolutely beautiful and a very good actress.

[michawilliams]

Yes, this was a very good movie with a good plot. I also like a good movie with a little dry humor. That makes it a little more interesting. Great upload.
