Remake of Tall, Dark and Handsome (1941) with Paul Douglas taking the mobster-in-love role Cesar Romero had in the original. However Romero does appear here in a different but smaller role in this one. Douglas does well as that lovable brute, and with Keenan Wynn as his mixer-fixer sidekick it becomes a smooth comedy. Not sure, which of the two films I feel is best. Kinda even.
