Madge Bellamy. The name I had often heard but never seen on screen until now. To say she's a cutie is an understatement. She had a quality that mixed Harlow's naughty sex appeal, with Marion Davies and Constance Bennett's sense of humour, added with a touch of Kay Francis. She doesn't have a huge window to show off her talents here, but what she does have she portrays well, and you can't help but stare. Being a famous star of the 20s, it would be fair to say that she is maybe past her peak here, but still enjoyable to watch. She plays a good natured girl named Lil, who has to contend with two cops who both fall for her, and trick each other into getting into trouble in order to keep her. Standard film of it's time, but fun to watch nevertheless.
