Review of While the City Sleeps

I thought John Barrymore, Jr. Was very good as the "Lipstick Killer." His deep set eyes gave him a very creepy vibe. I thought Andrews was great as the hard drinking news anchor. It seemed like he was drunk throughout most of the film. I also liked Fleming. She was gorgeous and even though her character was somewhat on the peripheral of the action throughout most of the film, I liked how she was dragged into the central plot at the end of the film and it was her storyline that affected the overall action. I also liked Lupino's star columnist character. I loved how sassy she was and how it wasn't beneath her to sell people out if she could get a story out of it. Sanders was excellent and he cracked me up when in lieu of working, he spent much of the second half of the film celebrating his assumed job promotion. Price was good as the boss of Andrews and Sanders, though I'm always tripped up by his not having a mustache. He looks like a completely different person without it.
