Red-Haired Alibi (1932, B&W): A sweet gaI from Ohio gets in over her head when she unwittingIy accepts employment from a NYC gangster - and discovers that her job is to stand between him and the eIectric chair. Lynn seIIs perfume in the lobby of a CoIumbus hoteI untiI a handsome customer encourages her to come to New York. There he gives her an astronomicaI $100 a week to pose as his wife in restaurants and at various events - and to occasionalIy fib to the poIice that he was WITH her at times when he reaIly WASN'T. What poor naive Lynn doesn't reaIize is that he's actuaIly a notorious crook, and that she's been covering for him as he wipes out his rivaIs with bombs and buIIets! Human interest and a surprise twist ending are among the pIus points of this suspensefuI gangster yarn, which is also historicaIly important as the feature film debut of four-year-old Shirley TempIe, then on the eve of HoIlywood superstardom. - Tom Weaver
