Overview

Caddish lawyer Lee Gentry is going out with Katy Costello, but carrying on an affair with dancer Carmen Brown. When he wants to end the dalliance with Carmen, she is so distraught that she becomes suicidal. Seizing the gun from Carmen, he accidentally shoots her, and thinking she's dead, concocts a series of increasingly outlandish alibis to cover his tracks under the guidance of a ghostly apparition that is his alter ego.

    Claude Rains is good in this as the smug, intelligent lawyer "Gentry" who prides himself on being able to get even the most odious of criminals acquitted. That ensures that just about every one in law enforcement loathes him - until, that is, serendipity strikes a blow as he gets very jealous about the antics of girlfriend "Carmen" (Margo) and is soon having to establish an alibi for himself - and things really take a turn for the bizarre. Indeed, that's probably the word for much of this production. The opening scenes are quirky, to say the least - though it does revert to a better trodden pat...
