PUNQ

Rated 14 Jan 2021

One of the more minor outings Lloyd Nolan did during his career. He gets mixed-up with some criminals because of a girl. The plot is very thin for a crime story, but Nolan knows how to get something out of lack luster material like this. This was also the last attempt at making Metropolitan Opera star Gladys Swarthout a screen star. Felt more like the last of a failed 5-film contract, if you ask me. No extra splash in trying to get her to stand out or anything.
