A B-picture mystery that is better forgotten
23 July 2021
The lousy production quality is just one of the faults of this Republic film. Most of the cast are obvious weak actors. The screenplay isn't very good, and the story has several obvious flaws. It would better have been billed a comedy, except that Chick Chandler and Mabel Todd's silliness and goofy attempts at humor just don't fly. They soon become irritation.

"The Mysterious Miss X" is a hard film to sit through. I did and hope this saves other potential viewers a waste of time. Three stars may seem generous, but the actors deserve something. With a decent script most of them would have been able to do better.
