(1940, Universal) Heather Angel, John “Dusty” King, Constance Collier, Walter Catlett, Tom Dugan. Angel is terrific as a beautiful schoolteacher who, bored with life, takes off on an adventure. Unfortunately, it lands her into a conversation with a gangster; and when he gets a little too friendly, she takes off in his car. Unknown to her, there’s a dead body in the trunk! She soon picks up a new boyfriend and before long, they are both being pursued by the gangster and the cops. This is a decidedly great little comedy-crime thriller with a delightful cast. Way cool. From 16mm.
