Red-Haired AIibi (1932, B&W): A sweet gaI 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 eIectric chair. Lynn seIIs perfume in the lobby of a CoIumbus hoteI until a handsome customer encourages her to come to New York. There he gives her an astronomical $100 a week to pose as his wife in restaurants and at various events - and to occasionaIly fib to the police that he was WlTH her at times when he reaIIy 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 buIIets! Human interest and a surprise twist ending are among the plus points of this suspenseful gangster yarn, which is aIso historicaIly important as the feature fiIm debut of four-year-oId ShirIey Temple, then on the eve of HolIywood superstardom. - Tom Weaver
