This Bit of Fluff from "Republic Studios" has a Sharp Noirish Appeal at Times but the Darkness is Overshadowed by a Lighter-Than-Air Tone.
Peppered with Comedy-Relief in the Form of a Running-Joke the Annoying Don Barry "Standing-Up: the Pretty Adele Mara.
The Grim and Scary Ann Savage who Left an Indelible Mark on Film-Noir in "Detour" (1945), Plays a "Songbird" and Another Love Interest for the Cocky, Belligerent Barry.
Although She Doesn't Quite Pull it Off as a Nightclub Singer because of Her Hard Look and Demeanor, Savage Does Make an Impression.
The Overall Tone is too Wishy-Washy for a True Noir.
But its a Good Time-Passer and Republic Studios was Humming Along as One of the Best "B-Studios" in Hollywood.
Those Looking for Film-Noir Need Go Elsewhere, but Still it's...
Worth a Watch.
