Two reporters who are in love (Brent and Blondell) compete with each other when covering the story about the discovery of a corpse found at the mansion of a famous Hollywood movie actress, Mona Harrison.[1] Mona asks Joe Medford, an old friend, to help.
The film was based on a 1944 novel by Hollywood columnist Jimmy Starr. It was his first novel.[2] The Los Angeles Times called it "a swiftmoving tale of murder."[3]
In July 1946 it was announced that producer Sam Bischoff would make the film for Columbia and that George Brent would star.[4] In November it was announced Henry Levin would direct.[5]
Variety wrote "Henry Levin's direction points up fast pace and light touch to balance
melodramatics. Audience interest is sustained... Dialog is light and niftily handled by the cast."[7]
