Anecdotes
Elizabeth Patterson repeats her role as Mrs. Ward from the earlier version, "Guilty As Hell."

Gaffes
The otherwise intelligent killer who so very carefully set up the frame should have destroyed the one thing that would expose his false alibi. Instead, he just left it where it was, enabling the investigators to eventually catch him.

A neat little frame

John Barrymore stars in Night Club Scandal which was a remake of an Edmund Lowe/Victor McLaglen film Guilty As Hell. In the previous film Lowe and McLaglen are first billed and play the reporter and the police captain who first solve a society murder and then have to solve it again when they suspect they've got the wrong man.

John Barrymore is the society doctor who kills his young cheating wife and frames her paramour Harvey Stephens. The reporter and police captain parts are done by Lynne Overman and Charles Bickford.

We know Barrymore did it, but the story is how first Overman then Bickford figure out it was a frame. Overman who was a Paramount regular plays his part like he was imitating Lee Tracy. Good, but a copy.

As for Barrymore he underplays effectively, no staged histrionics in what he does. The women's parts are Louise Campbell who fights for her brother Stephens and a nice performance from Evelyn Brent as Naish's wife and a nightclub singer.

Not a great Barrymore film, in fact a B picture from Paramount. Still those who like the Great Profile will like this.
