Big Brown Eyes - 1936 - 6/10

Despite several high end jewel robberies, an insurance specialist has luck retrieving them.
Smooth, debonair, and he runs with criminals.
Police officer Barr heads the case, with more than a few complications.
Girlfriend Eve for example, who career shifts from manicurist to muckraking reporter.

Bipolar film is part screwball, other part cynical gangster.
Indeed, despite galloping dialogue, innuendo, laugh out loud comedy, there is an ugly undercurrent.
Cary Grant and Joan Bennett have an easy chemistry.
