Step by Step (1946)
7/10
Noir it is not; short, lively and funny it certainly is

Phil Rosen directs this B picture with flair and to that end he is greatly helped by the debonair and good looking leads, Lawrence Tierney and Anne Jeffreys, the latter a stunning beauty reminiscent of a pinup model... and a very, very cute mutt who gets to have the last snarl in the movie!

Cinematography is quite good for a B pic, action sequences - especially the fisticuffs - are well worked (though you can tell a stuntman does Tierney's fight sequences), and the script is strong, credible and very funny in parts, with the abovementioned cute dog making us wag our tails...

At a short 61', a most enjoyable way to spend time.
