I am in love with Ann Southern here. She is smart, and her body looks like it is ready for action. This is a B movie which made to MGM standards is better than some of these from other studios. Robert Young here is a cowboy instead of a sitcom dad. I actually envy him getting to kiss Southern on screen.

It's funny growing up with Young on TV how he seems so different here. The film is quite enjoyable and gets a lot of character development done in 90 minutes. This is a good movie and they worked with the book's author to script it which appears to have helped with the content.

Interesting how the guy who actually steals Young's wallet early on in the movie, lies about it, then appears to pretty much get away with it which is an unusual message in a film in this period.

I've got to catch more of this series, though I would like to see Southern in a bathing suit. Must check the internet for that.
