Watched online; fuzzy print, sound out of sync.
Nina Mae sings, sways, and acts in a glamorous, but dangerous role. Unfortunately she doesn't dance.
Good tapper at ~30 min; don't know his name. I'm surprised this film isn't in the Tap! Appendix.
Story by Ralph Cooper, star et al of The Duke is Tops; he doesn't appear here.
We get a chase scene on the open road, a fight scene, and several explosions. Decent story, shabby setting. I like the listening device.
The sound problem on this print is profound and distracting, so I'll give the rating the benefit of the doubt.
