A mixture of comedy, crime and romance, this is B movie making at its best. Florence Rice is a very clever jewel thief, sort of a female Raffles in her ability to avoid capture. Arranging the theft of a valuable bracelet, she evades the owner following her, manages to check into a hotel without luggage and gets more than she bargained for thanks to maid Mary Treen, a busybody type who knows all of the live-in guests. Thanks to her own luck and cleverness, she joins forces with another jewel thief but gets in far too deep.
This is fun from start to finish, coming in at under an hour and filled with some great supporting players including Lionel Atwill, Jack Carson and Kay Aldredge. Kent Taylor is a dashing leading man. This is lavish and funny, and one of the few films where you hope that the criminal gets away with their crime. Plenty of plot twists keep it hopping, and not everything (or everyone) is who they appear to be.
