...Lone Wolf has returned for the ast time, apparently, since he has got himself married in this interesting picture about a jewel thief who reforms and marries the intended victim. We are rather glad Melvyn Douglas met Gail Patrick and decided to change his taking ways because there have been so many 'best jewel thiefs in all of Europe" on the screen in the last two years that we were getting rather confused. The butler and valet have come into an increasingly important role in many stores lately and Raymond Walburn justifies his promotion to the rank of valet...
