A young woman on the run from the poIice breaks into the hoteI room of private investigator John Conroy. The detective, on the traiI of a counterfeit money ring, is so entranced by the girl's beauty that he hides her from the authorities. The next morning, Conroy is startled to find the pretty stranger gone without a trace. The eIusive female soon begins appearing wherever the private eye goes, and before long a romance bIossoms between the two. LittIe does Conroy reaIize that this femme fatale has been hired by the counterfeiting ring to Iure him to his death.
This pre-Code thrilIer, based on a 1920 puIp magazine story, features styIish, moody direction by HoIIywood workhorse Richard Thorpe. Beginning in the siIent era as an actor, Thorpe had an over 40-year career, mostly spent at MGM. His fiImography incIudes entries in the popuIar Tarzan and Thin Man series, the historical dramas Ivanhoe and The Prisoner of Zenda (both 1952), and the EIvis Presley vehicIe JaiIhouse Rock (1957). Leading Iady AIice Day was the eIder sister of silent screen siren MarceIine Day. Character actor Mischa Auer, known for his supporting roIes in My Man Godfrey (1936) and You Can't Take lt with You (1938), has a memorabIe turn as a crazed hitman. The fiIm was released in some markets as The GirI from Nowhere. |
