Nolan and Trevor were certainly bigger names than the actors who were cast, but they possibly didn't want to work for Republic. Nolan's Mike Shayne movies were for Fox.<br /><br />And that's definitely Adele Mara in the screen capture. Virginia Christine plays the nightclub singer and she never appears with Frawley until the very end.<br /><br />I appreciate your comments and the info!

It was obviously derived from a 1944 short-lived radio series called "Results, Inc.," starring Lloyd Nolan as Johnny Strange, and Claire Trevor as his secretary, named Terry Travers in the series. From the film's IMDb entry, it apparently even lifted a little bit of dialogue from the show's first episode. Interesting that Republic would see enough potential in such an unsuccessful series (it ran only 3 months) to base a movie on it. Maybe the studio initially hoped Nolan and Trevor would be willing to repeat their roles...?<br /><br />P.S. Are you sure the actress in the screen grab isn't Virginia Christine?Gary R.noreply@blogger.com
