Laird Cregar ("Worthington") rather steals this over-complicated crime caper as together with his benign-looking wife "Maybelle" manage to coax the naive, but willing, "Susan" (Gene Tierney) onto a sting operation. Their mark is the gullible "Wheeler" (Henry Fonda). Their swindling all goes nicely to plan, double-selling him yacht for $15,000 but shortly afterwards the gal starts to fall in love with her new beau, and complications set in... It's an OK film this, but there isn't much chemistry between Tierney and a distinctly lukewarm Fonda. There is also far too much dialogue and the pace of the whole thing makes it hard for it to find any rhythm. It's interesting to see Miss Byington in a slightly less flightly role, but otherwise this is just a routine vehicle for two stars that offers little of distinction for just over 90 minutes.
