What an actress May Robson was – this time out she shows how deft she was at comedy. Robson's comments about- and to - her great granddaughter are particularly amusing as is her court scene. Her character, Minerva Hatton returns to Nevada to be with her granddaughter who is in Nevada getting a divorce from her odious husband played by Hardie Albright (who plays his role to a tee). Years earlier Minerva had lived in Nevada and made a bundle of money there during the boom years. She also retained the skills she learned there such as how to use a gun (she's a crack shot) and her country way of being plain spoken. She still has a lot of friends there including Nate Paulson (Harry Davenport), an attorney and Smokey (Clem Bevans), an office gopher and big fan of true detective magazines. A murder occurs and Minerva, Nate, and Smokey must find the killer. And they do. It was so refreshing seeing oldsters as the lead actors - and they were so entertaining. I do hope to be able to get a copy of this movie – it was delightful.
