Dick Powell, Hollywood's prettiest tough guy, is cast as a tinhorn gambler with a heart of pure gold. As junior partner in a plushy gambling house, he is suspected of the murder of a crooked cop (Jim Bannon) and the cop's girl (Nina Foch). Powell can take some comfort from the fact that his partner's wife (Ellen Drew) and the murdered girl's sister (Evelyn Keyes) are both crazy about him. A tired police inspector, well played by hulking Lee J. Cobb, finally unravels the puzzle. But the story is told with such...

Actress Jinx Falkenburg was crowned 1947 Radio Sweater Girl by the National Knitted Outerwear Foundation, which picked Nina Foch as Hollywood Queen.

Rockefeller the elder, Andrew Mellon, Sinclair Lewis, Sidney Hillman, Clemenceau, Mussolini, Gandhi and Aldous Huxley were only a few of his trophies. He was convinced that Franklin Roosevelt was the greatest of them...
...Name Is Julia Ross (Columbia) sets out to frighten its customers - and does a pretty expert job. A young girl (Nina Foch), looking for employment in London, finds herself eagerly - ah, too eagerly - employed as secretary to a re spectable-looking old lady (Dame May Whitty). It soon appears that she has been hired as a full-time victim in a family of determined killers. Kept on a diet of Mickey Finns in the locked room of a lonely, cliffbound house with a dizzying view of the sea, she has every reason to feel insecure...
