Fast Company

Enjoyable, I am surprised by how much they showed the husband flirting with that lady, even if we knew it was for a case, he was very into it lmao, a bit of pre-code vibes

Decent Thin Man copycat movie.

Sometimes a good Thin Man copy, other times a weak copy. Felt like a half-written script. Melvyn Douglas and his gal Florence Rice had some funny lines, but other times their interactions was practically absent. They clearly hadn't put too much effort into the characters other then that they were supposed to be similar to Powell/Loy. Didn't help that this was built around the dangerous secondhand book scene. But I enjoyed it. Plus the baddies looked bad with Dwight Frye as a book-forging psycho.
