Some things I liked some I did not.

Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

I always love to find films under the film noir banner and take a look. I love even more coming in here and seeing how these films are classified. This is hardly a film noir.Ginger Rogers plays a woman in prison who's swept out of prison by a DA, Edward G. Robinson, to try and convince her to testify at an immigration hearing for a known gangster. Her "minder" is a seasoned detective, Brian Keith. They spend the better part of 36 hours hold up in a hotel room talking about life and circumstance...oh...also trying to convince her to testify against this guy. All the while the gangster, played by Lorne Green, finds out where she is and whatever information he wants about the situation fairly easily. Could there be an inside man?I've seen an interview with Ginger Rogers where she states this is her, or is one of, her favorite films she did. To me this film is only OK. I think my biggest issue is Ginger Rogers herself. All of her 30's and 40's films had the wisecracking/funny personality that she is but in this one , for a heavy Crime Drama, wasn't needed. Don't get me wrong, there probably isn't a bigger Ginger Rogers fan than me but I guess seeing all the quality she put out back in her heyday, to me this wasn't near as good. Edward G. Robinson is rock solid as usual so expect no surprises from him.A fairly decent film but there's no doubt this was done on a budget. Just by the date it was done you would know that back at that particular time, Rogers and Robinson weren't sought after like they use to be. There were on the backsides of their careers. Just go into it thinking "a typical 50's Crime Drama" and you won't be disappointed.

I saw this movie years ago and remembered it as quite good. Boy, how memories can deceive you! Right from the kickoff i didn't buy Ginger Rogers as having ever been in a police station, never mind a prison. Her tough gal act is totally phony and hokey. Besides that, she talks, and talks and talks some more.......she never quits yapping for more than three seconds. She doesn't just chew the scenery, she devours the entire set. The other actors look on forlornly, and the cop protecting her looks as though he'd rather blast some holes in her. I can sympathize with that sentiment. And poor Edward G. Robinson is totally wasted here. I love Ginger Rogers in the right kind of movies: musicals or comedies were her forte, but this is a casting disaster and a total star ego trip. So unless you absolutely want to see every movie she's ever been in, i'd give it a miss. I wish i had.

Ginger Rogers sheds her usual movie ways and portrays a girl surviving a sentence for hiding a criminal. She is offered her freedom if she will testify against someone who the government is trying to get. Problem is that her ex-boyfriend has already taken a fatal bullet on his way to testify.Edward G. Robinson is the D.A. here in this exciting film. There is a marvelous supporting performance by Brian Keith, as the cop, assigned to watch her. Naturally, romance blooms and there is quite a surprise waiting for viewers when we realize who he really is in this film.Here is a girl telling those in prison to keep their mouths shut and do as little as possible. "Never volunteer" is her motto. How quickly the situation and her beliefs change.As Sherry Conley, Rogers depicts a girl whose environment led her astray. The film is well worth catching.

I'm surprised that no one thought that Ginger Rogers was a bit like Judy Holliday in that she plays a rough and dumb blonde that says some wise and intelligent things. I thought the excellent dialogue kept you interested in the movie since most of it took place in a hotel room. Although I'm a big fan of Brian Keith, I thought his roll was too "Hollywood" in that in the beginning of the film he and Ginger Rogers intensely disliked each other only to then fall for each other. How many films has that happened? Bunch! Robinson was just excellent as always, no surprise there. Very good movie with excellent dialogue but no real surprises in how it ends.
