Affair in Reno

John Lund and Doris Singleton star in Affair in Reno, a programmer from 1957.

Boomers will recognize Singleton as Caroline or Lillian Appleby, depending on the episode, Lucy's blind as a bat without her glasses friend on I Love Lucy.

Here she plays a female detective, hired to protect John Lund. He's brought $100,000 to Reno to dissuade a casino owner from marrying a young woman from a good family.

This is a light film with some comedy. Lund gives a breezy performance, and what I liked is how effective the female detective character was, getting Lund out of all kinds of scrapes. She knew her stuff!
