Eric Gregg: Its not half as bad as the evening's going to be.
Patricia Carmody: Do you want a pal to listen to your tale of woe?
Eric Gregg: I'm afraid it wouldn't be interesting. I'm just about to face some music and, boy, the tempo's going to be terrific.

Featured review
Ronald Reagan stars in this B feature from Warner Brothers Accidents Will Happen
about an honest insurance claims investigator who's a bit too good at his job. So
he gets set up good and proper by some insurance racketeers who use his wife Sheila Bromley as part of the set up.
It's a good part for Reagan solidifying his nice guy image that the Warner Brothers were giving him. Bromley's a hateful and spiteful spouse and has some good scenes herself. The girl for Ronnie is Gloria Blondell playing a part that would have fit older sister Joan in the studios more expensive A films.
I have to say Reagan sets the villains up nicely for their final comeuppance.
Good, but routine programmer.
