Hildegard Withers: Good morning, Miss.
[no reaction]
Hildegard Withers: Good morning Miss! When you've got your disguise on, I'd like to ask you a few questions. That is, if you can talk through all that make-up.
Hildegard Withers: Do you remember handling a call yesterday afternoon to Mr. Parker, about four, just before he went out to, to be killed?
Parker's Secretary: Say, what are you - a policewoman?
Hildegard Withers: Insofar as it concerns you, I am. I'm connected with the Detective Bureau - not very pleasantly, but still connected.
Parker's Secretary: What are you trying to do, put the B on me?
Hildegard Withers: I'm trying to put nothing on you. You have enough on already. Now, if you will answer my questions, you can go right back to your artwork!
Parker's Secretary: Sure I remember a call. It was a man. He said Mrs. Parker was in trouble so I put him right through.
Hildegard Withers: Are you sure it was a man's voice?
Parker's Secretary: Well, it ain't likely a woman would be calling me "Baby", is it?
Hildegard Withers: [thoughtfully] No, not so far downtown as this.

The 1930's produced many mysteries [ The 39 Steps, The Lady Vanishes] of which a few would be counted with the best ever made; though the former is not one of the best, it is a joy to watch and listen to. From start to finish this film crackles with wit and is filled with visual tics and quirks that lead us to the conclusion that these are two souls that we will not soon want to forget.
Helen Broderick tried unsuccessfully to fill Ms. Oliver's shoes in the fourth and final installment of the Withers' series "Murder on a Bridle Path" but there was no chemistry between Gleason and Broderick as well as the fact, that it was not a well written entry. It just goes to show, that Edna May and Gleason shone as a crime fighting duet and as unlikely romantic leads.
