But at 63 minutes, the pacing is crisp & the script stays out of the narrative’s way. Once again, as in other Withers films, the supporting cast with Toler & Francis Ford (John’s older brother) and Sally Blane who is a dead ringer for her sister (Loretta Young), the players sparkle. For me, the talented Ms. Withers handles a song & dance well, but her emoting is a bit over the top. Still a rare film for which Jon Rarefilmm we thank you!
