fredcdobbs5 Looking more like it came from "B" action specialist Breezy Eason at Warners than little-known Frank Woodruff at RKO, this quickie little time-filler about crooked limo drivers trying to drive a bus company out of business accomplished what it set out to do, no more or no less. The script is serviceable, at best, if too talky at times, and leading man Charles Lang--in only his second picture--is rather colorless and bland and has no chemistry whatever with star Fay Wray, though she tries hard. There's some action on the road, and if you're a vintage-car enthusiast you'll really like all the shiny new--at the time--Packards, Chevys and other models sprinkled throughout the picture, and there's a pretty good though brief brawl near the end. Wray is still as beautiful and sexy as she was seven years earlier in "King Kong" and, as other reviewers have stated, is probably the best reason to watch this picture. It's OK, nothing more, and a decent way to pass the time. Nothing special, though.

mark.waltz Crooked racketeers are using passenger cars to take customers away from a legitimate bus company. The daughter of the owner (Fay Wray) investigates and helps break up the racket with one of the members of the crooked gang who has found out first hand what they are capable of. This is a typical RKO programmer of this era, 90% of their annual releases. Rarely seen until Turner Classics brought them out from mothballs, these features are a mixed bag, and this one, which has a few redeeming values, is like many others of the golden age of cinema. Somewhat violent, not as fast moving as similar crime dramas made at Warner Brothers, they've got all the necessary ingredients to be nothing more than just forgettable bottom-of-the-bill features that ended when television came along. Wray is feisty, and Leona Roberts, as a slovenly landlady with a secret, adds spark to what otherwise would be simply ordinary.

boblipton This rather poor RKO programmer manages to keep some interest going, mostly due to Fay Wray, who struggles with the poor material, but who is canny enough to make the most of her close-ups, and to Paul Guilefoyle who is pretty good is his supporting role as the hot-tempered moral center of the piece. Leading man -- actually, leading chump -- Charles Lang suggests, if anyone, a rather clueless Dan Duryea.The plot, about a struggling bus line, owned by Miss Wray's father and run by her, despite the efforts by wildcatters to put it out of business by faking accidents, has hints of screwball comedy about it at some points, but it is rarely played for laughs. Lang, the newly indigent ex-playboy, is down to his last limousine, which has its potential, but the effect is not funny, merely incongruous. Not a terrible piece to watch, but not to go out of your way for.

joeshoe89 Seen on Turner Classic movies, this is a quick very entertaining little B movie. It features Fay Wray who is the main reason for watching as the daughter of the owner of a bus company who is being threatened by Ma whose husband was dad's partner and stealing from the company who dad got sent to jail. Ma is running a group of cars that go from LA to San Fran for a price in order to take business away from the bus company. There are also sabotage on the buses and using cars to force the buses into crashing. The best part is two strong women Fay and Ma even if Fay ends up quick for marriage to Jerry at the end. Ma isn't quite so lucky.
