Quiz
The three films of the "Fast Series" were produced by Metro because exhibitors were clamoring for more movies from the Thin Man Series. The "Fast" films were intended to fill that gap.

Blooper
There's a film editing error when Joel (Melvyn Douglas) wakes tied up after being kidnapped, and says, "Oh, what happened to my head?" Terison (Nat Pendleton) is playing cards. He stops playing, looks up and starts to answer. There's a cut and Pendleton stops playing (again), looks up, and answers.

Citazioni
Lt. James Flanner: [to Joel] Langner tells me that you've worked on some cases of stolen books... that you've helped the insurance companies quite a bit.
Steve Langner: Any favors he does we pay him for. There's not an altruistic bone in his body.
Garda Sloane: Anything you want to know about my husband's bones, Lieutenant, you can ask me.

6/10

Fun film starring Melvyn Douglas and Florence Rice as Joel and Garda Sloane, rare bookdealers. There were three of these films and they were intended to cash in on the success of the Thin Man. However, Fast Company stands on its own very nicely.

Unlike Nick and Nora, Joel and Garda have visible means of support. In this story, the couple works to clear a young man (Shepperd Strudwick) of murder after he leaves prison for a burglary - for which he was framed.

The dialogue is fast and witty, and Joel and Garda are very affectionate and enjoy teasing one another. Douglas and Rice have great chemistry.

Franchot Tone and Ann Sothern started as the couple in another film, Fast and Furious, and Robert Montgomery and Rosalind Russell starred in a third. Sorry there weren't more. Douglas and Rice were the best, in my opinion.
