Greed, graft and corruption pollutes the city in director Tay Garnett's witty slapstick murder mystery, SIightly Honorable. Framed for the murder of party girl AIma Brehmer, honest lawyer John Webb (Pat O'Brien) crusades to prove his innocence while encountering alI manner of hilariousIy corrupt big city denizens.
A director comfortable in nearIy any genre (be it the high comedy of China Seas, the heartbreaking romantic melodrama of One Way Passage, or the smoIdering intrigue of the fiIm noir cIassic, The Postman Always Rings Twice), Tay Garnett (1894-1977) infuses SIightIy HonorabIe with his hallmarks - frank sexual innuendo, a rich and witty visual styIe and fineIy drawn performances. |
