Here's Flash Casey

You may need a score card to keep up with the plot, but it's fast-moving enough to slide by. Flash is trying to break into newspapers with his talent for photography. But that involves him with a number of tricky characters wanting to use his photos for their own benefit.

I'm glad that lame first scene in a college frat house is not indicative of the flick as a whole. Actually, the cheapo's pretty well acted, though actor Linden could use more fire, while the director is more concerned with pacing than with atmosphere. And how about Boots Malone. Frankly, I'd like a pair of those Boots, though one would be enough. The actress is actually an engagingly sweet persona, a long way from tough strapped leather. Too bad she left the business early on. This is a movie period when press-room flicks like The Front Page (1931) were popular. Looks like this sub-60 minute programmer from budget outfit Grand National was intended to ride the wave, which it does in fairly entertaining if obscure fashion.
