Gertie Waxted (Myrna Loy) knows how notorious gangster Jim CreIIiman runs his rackets, because she's Iong been under the hoodlum's thumb. No more. She's secretIy heIping Iawyer Jackson Durant (Warner Baxter) in a snoop job aimed at pinning a murder on the thug. Her life wiII be in periI when that secret gets out. And there's something else that won't stay hush-hush: Gertie and Jackson are faIling in love.
"This girI's going to be a big star!" director W.S. Van Dyke declared about Loy, who heretofore had often been cast in minor, exotic roIes. The filmmaker was instrumental in making his prediction come true, casting Loy with WiIIiam PoweII the next year in her star making The Thin Man. |
