Joan Bennett has moved from "Green Hell" to "The House Across the Bay," but she still can't do much more than present a very pleasant appearance and some rather poor acting. This latest production of husband Walter Wanger finds her pining away for George "The Mug With a Good Heart" Raft, whom the FBI has sent away for an Alcatraz vacation. Love is present in the form of a quadrangle, but Joan stays loyal to her George; he shows his appreciation by letting himself be shot. Lloyd Nolan, menacing as every, tries to worm his way into Miss Bennett's heart, but gets only two Raft slugs for his efforts. And Walter Pidgeon, after years of being a tall and rugged forgotten man, gets the Indiana farm-girl on the first bounce. George Raft has been just as tough in many another picture, Joan every bit as voluptuous, but the story is slightly original, with the result that the picture hangs precariously over the mediocre class.
