Hear hear ! Wonderfully entertaining films like these prove that a movie doesn't have to indulge in profanity or graphic violence to be enjoyable to watch !

Good film. Given that so many of these old movies are rotting away and lost, it is a good thing that youtube provides a place for them to be appreciated. As a by product of the posting, the film is preserved in an informal library.

I absolutely LOVE these old movies. I grew up on them ... reruns in the 50s on T.V. matinees. Thanks so much. Beloved tacky memories from my childhood.

A brave, savvy young woman takes matters into her own hands to find her husband's murderer; solid acting by the protagonist. Thank you

Penny Edwards does a great job "cast against type" in this film. This B-film is better and much more fun to watch than most of the dreck coming out of Hollywood today! Thank you very much for sharing this with us.

Excellent little "B" movie. Hadn't seen Miss Edwards before. Quite stunning. Like the Ford and especially the Lincoln convertibles. Police in LA had tons of Nash autos in ths time period. Not beautiful but very distinctive.

I liked the crew / cast... they were so good at finding just the right guys to play the Mobsters, Police, Detectives & Damsel In Distress parts back in those great old days, & the movies always seemed to bring the characters of the story totally, "to life". In this film, I also really liked the gutsy "Dame". She sure was pretty as a brunette or blond, but I was waiting for her to change into the "fiery redhead" ~ although, I probably couldn't tell the difference... just like I couldn't & never would have guessed that the stolen sedan was "green"! lol >°•° Is it just me, or did she talk a little bit like Marilyn Monroe?!?! Even her mouth or nose w/ her innocent demeanor, at times, was a real close likeness. This was a good flick! Thank you, for sharing these old treasures!!! I'm looking forward to finding / watching another one of your crime-stopper, mobster & mystery movies all wrapped in one hot tamale! ~ Peace

Thanks for posting. Enjoyed it.

+Cpt.Grimsdale Nemo (Seneca) I run a risk in informing that it's delightful when women are objectified, we just love that. Although hair coloring is a feature of this story, there's more substance to it as there is to women in general. But it's okay, you go on objectifying.

Yes, the Capital Theater in Greeneville, Tennessee

There's a flaw in the script starting at timemark ~42:35. It's when the two detectives confront the character, Ms. Rankin, in the beauty parlor. She is the wife going undercover. The script should have created more tension by having the policemen articulate the very real danger to her of continuing -- after all, the gang has already killed the husband -- because of the ruthlessness of the car theft gang. Instead of heightening the dramatic tension at that point, the younger cop merely acquiesces in the older cop's suggestion of an additional 24 hours. Maybe such a plot element -- "You'll be dead, Ms. Rankin, if there is any misstep, as dead as your late husband" -- had been included but was dropped in editing. What are your thoughts? `

The extra who walks through the shot at 14:26 is the spitting image of Joan Crawford. The convenient (and always mis-used) amnesia scenario was getting tired even in 1951 - it was dredged up when the writers got themselves into trouble and needed a quick fix

That very well may be Crawford; her walk, bearing and looks are perfect. Even her hairdo is a slightly grown out version from “Harriet Craig” (1950). The way she casts her eyes down is a Crawford mannerism. For an extra she is very prominently featured for no real reason. Maybe she owed someone a favour or did it as a gag.
