I can’t get enough of these films. In those days no violence, no sex, no swearing was allowed, so they had to rely on a good script and good actors. Now actors get paid millions for acting terribly, and people worship them as if they’re Gods. Thank you for letting me go into my own world and enjoy these films.

I'm with you. B/W movies are the best. This has several of my favorite actors: John Archer (White Heat), Walter Long (a frequent laurel and Hardy villain) and Gale Storm (a likely name) who I watched on TV while growing up. I can't get enough of the older stuff. While growing up I watched the "Bill Kennedy Show Time" who played vintage movies in the Detroit/Windsor area. It's in my blood. I can't resist. five years either side of 1935 is what I like. Nerts is a word I use often.

Enjoyable rainy afternoon movie, although I did kind of fall asleep fifteen minutes towards the end. Still, it's kind of nice when an old movie relaxes you to that point. The ending felt rushed SPOILER hard to fathom why girl reporter was joking with district attorney soon (?) after her father was shot. Perhaps we're to think more time has gone by. There isn't a lot of exposition in this type of low budget story. Thanks for uploading, I have a soft spot for 40s films & this was fun.

My take on the story is that "out of state jobs" or whatever was a euphemism for prostitution to pass censors. If pre-code and with a bit more of a budget, the mobsters would have had guns, there would be more booze, and there would be less dancing around the subject. I looked up the writers and they seem like an odd couple. Oliver Drake, from Idaho, looks to have spent most of his career writing Western style movies. George Rosener (Dugan in the film), from Brooklyn, played a lot of uncredited acting roles and not a lot of writing.
