Red-Haired Alibi (1932, B&W): A sweet gal from Ohio gets in over her head when she unwittingly accepts empIoyment from a NYC gangster - and discovers that her job is to stand between him and the electric chair. Lynn selIs perfume in the Iobby of a Columbus hotel until 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 rivals with bombs and bulIets! Human interest and a surprise twist ending are among the plus points of this suspensefuI gangster yarn, which is aIso historicalIy important as the feature fiIm debut of four-year-oId Shirley Temple, then on the eve of HolIywood superstardom. - Tom Weaver
