"The Housekeeper's Daughter" seems to be a lighthearted gangster film with romance added as an afterthought. It's watchable and forgettable.

Hal Roach directs a rare feature film, trying to keep alive after the 'short comedy' marked dried up. Not many laughs, but the bigger problem is the script. Not much logic. I'm not saying it's a total waste for there are interesting aspects to this, like George E. Stone as a mentally challenge helper, along with a strong cast in Joan Bennett, Adolphe Menjou among many well known faces. But this is more a written mess then a Hal Roach success.
