Curiosidades
The setting is suggested as New York City in the very beginning by a few notes of the song "The Sidewalks of New York". In the double exposure of newspaper headlines/marble games (pinball) being destroyed by sledgehammers, the destruction depicts true events. Pinball machines were declared illegal and destroyed in New York City at that time. They remained illegal there until 1976.

Erros de gravação
Set in New York, the train shown taking Jane to the Elvira State School is a Southern Pacific train.

Citações
Thomas 'Breezy' Elliott: Oh, honey, I'm sorry. I don't mean to hurt you all the time, honestly. I'm daffy about you. I want to marry you. I want you to quit this newspaper racket. Nobody ever reads your column anyway.
Jane Morgan: Flossie out front does!
Thomas 'Breezy' Elliott: Oh, so, Flossie reads it. That's 1 out of a circulation of 1,951,351. That makes you better than a million to one per cent and that's certainly a great record.

Editor and reporter once again

Pat O'Brien and Joan Blondell play editor and reporter again, as they did in "Back in Circulation." This time, the emphasis is different.

Blondell plays Jane Morgan, a columnist, who comes across a hot story -- a local mobster has been using young boys as spotters in his billiard establishment.

She tries to pitch the story to her editor Thomas Elliott (O'Brien) and the publisher of the newspaper, but they pay no attention to her. When the story lands in her column, it causes a huge sensation. Her investigative reporting lands on the front page.

As a result of this, the mobster makes a deal with Joe Fallon (Alan Baxter), one of his minions, to take the rap for him and go to prison. Fallon agrees, meaning that his little brother (Bobby Jordan) will have to go to reform school.

Feeling guilty, Jane, who has been pestered by Tom to marry him, wants to adopt the boy. He's resistant but finally relents, and things go very well until the kid drifts toward being influenced by Joe.

This is a short B movie. O'Brien and Blondell made a great team. She's adorable as usual here. Warners often made their character actors into leading men, and O'Brien was no exception. He did this kind of role very well.

Not much else going on since it's so short, but it's pleasant enough.
