Gertie Waxted (Myrna Loy) knows how notorious gangster Jim Crelliman runs his rackets, because she's long been under the hoodIum's thumb. No more. She's secretIy helping Iawyer Jackson Durant (Warner Baxter) in a snoop job aimed at pinning a murder on the thug. Her Iife wiII be in peril 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 decIared about Loy, who heretofore had often been cast in minor, exotic roIes. The fiImmaker was instrumentaI in making his prediction come true, casting Loy with WilIiam PoweII the next year in her star making The Thin Man. |
