Never Knew About This Film[edit]

Wow! I never knew this film existed! Although it doesn't seem to be one to seek out except by Arthur Shields completists devoted to beholding his entire oeuvre. Figure Out What's Right (talk) 11:29, 8 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Also for William Beaudine's strong but not heavy-handed direction. Yoninah (talk) 12:55, 8 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
