Clark Gable as a tough talking editor/reporter of a newspaper wants to get the goods on a guy who swindled many victims. Sounds like the Bernie Madoff saga of the 1930s. He feels that he can do this if he plays up the fact that the guy has been carrying on with another woman. Trouble is that the woman, who is married, soon turns up dead and while he knows who the culprit is in her murder, it's going to be hard to prove as others saw the drunken husband slap her.
Constance Bennett is the society matron who writes a music column for the paper and who knows the guy Gable suspects of her murder quite well.
As always, Billie Burke is the flippant, exasperated person, this time as Bennett's mother.
My main flaw with this good film, it ended too fast. Things got resolved very quickly and would have been more enjoyable gone on longer.
