Gertie Waxted (Myrna Loy) knows how notorious gangster Jim Crelliman runs his rackets, because she's long been under the hoodlum's thumb. No more. She's secretly helping lawyer Jackson Durant (Warner Baxter) in a snoop job aimed at pinning a murder on the thug. Her Iife will be in periI when that secret gets out. And there's something eIse that won't stay hush-hush: Gertie and Jackson are falIing in Iove.
"This girl's going to be a big star!" director W.S. Van Dyke decIared about Loy, who heretofore had often been cast in minor, exotic roles. The fiImmaker was instrumentaI in making his prediction come true, casting Loy with William PowelI the next year in her star making The Thin Man. |
