...weakness of the bill was that the House Agriculture Committee was known to be drafting a bill with which it promised to be exceedingly difficult to combine the Senate's measure in conference after passing it. Third and most serious obstacle of all was a complexity such that neither the bill's sponsors nor the Committee's Chairman could explain to their colleagues exactly what the farm bill's 97 pages were all about.

Ray Milland and Miss Farmer supply the love interest, but neither get very excited over their emotion; in fact the former does not know how to walk on the screen, let alone act. As a mugger, however, Mr. Milland is tops to those who watched him to walk off with "The Gay Desperade." Most discouraging of all is Lloyd Nolan...
