While this isn't a great comedy, it has fun-to-watch characters and is a nice diversion when you're in the mood for something silly but fun. I thought Joe Penner was a pleasure in this film for me and was ably supported by an excellent supporting cast who add life and spirit. Linda Hayes is quite attractive and sweet as the romantic interest of Joe Penner's character. Tom Kennedy is hilarious and Fritz Feld is a delight in the too few scenes he's in. The script could use some more wit to balance all the juvenile dialog, though. But the cast and director does a great job selling the material and making it fun to watch
This is a very well-acted suspense/message film that holds you in its grip the entire way. Other reviews have described the plot so I won't go into that here. The other reviewers seemed to want more violent action in the film, but the film wasn't intended to be an action film but rather make you understand how the characters feel and you can do that through words. I really enjoyed this and was very moved by all of the main characters. I found the acting of everyone gripping and believable and there are a number of twists and turns that make you unsure of how it will end. A wonderful film that I think most Walter Huston fans will especially enjoy although Doris Kenyon also gives a fine performance as well as do the entire cast.
