a dopey plan that backfires badly!
27 May 2021
Johnny Lamb (George Raft) runs a very successful gambling hall. However, when he meets a classy lady, Lucille (Delores Costello), Johnny's friends were scared, as they assumed class AND dames would ruin Johnny. So, they hire a couple of grifters (Ida Lupino and Reginald Owen) to distract Johnny from Lucille. But the problem goes too well...he falls for the new woman AND the two grifters use this as a chance to fleece Johnny out of everything they can get! In other words, Lucille could NEVER be THIS bad for Johnny! So what's next? Watch the film.

This is a cute but inconsequential film. In other words, it's enjoyable and worth seeing BUT not exactly a must-see either. It's made a bit better due to some nice supporting actors (Lynne Overman, James Gleason and Edgar Kennedy) and a light, enjoyable script. Fun.
