Trudy Marshall, the granddaughter's governess, is in love with a detective who is about to expose the old man's unsuspected activities.

Lloyd Corrigan, Michael Duane, Trudy Marshall, and Gigi Perreau in Alias Mr. Twilight (1946)

I&#39;m adding reviews for films that lack one, here goes.... &#39;Early Sturges film, grandfather is guardian to his 5 year old granddaughter, who he rearing with the help of a young nurse, his &#39;profession&#39; is confidence trickster, at which he is talented; but things get complicated when the nurse starts dating a policeman. It&#39;s a mostly little known cast, apart from Lloyd Corrigan who is the standout as granddad, Gigi Perreau is rather to cute as his granddaughter; worth a look good film.&#39;

Alias Mr. Twilight

Sentiment is the name of the game in this &quot;terribly&quot; sweet family drama about a lovable con-artist (Lloyd Corrigan) who takes steps to ensure the future of his orphaned granddaughter (Gigi Perreau) when his past threatens to catch up with him. Thanks to his nasty opportunistic cousin (Rosalind Ivan), Corrigan realizes he could loose Perreau and goes out of his way to ensure that Ivan will have no part in her upbringing. That&#39;s where Perreau&#39;s sweet nanny (Trudy Marshall) and her cop boyfriend (Michael Duane) come in, with the aide of Corrigan&#39;s partner in graft (Al Bridge).<br/><br/>Although third billed, Corrigan is the true star and steals every moment he&#39;s on screen, just as his character does in his amazingly clever schemes. Ivan, the witchy wife in &quot;The Suspect&quot; and &quot;Scarlet Street&quot;, is equally sinister here, although she&#39;s a lot more subtle. This works best when it&#39;s avoiding the obvious sentiment, although Perreau wisely underplays the cuteness. A clever twist helps this become a bit more satisfying. Corrigan, always memorable even in the smallest parts, proves that he can handle a lead, and here reminds me of the more legendary old codger, Charles Coburn.
