What Private Detective 62 Is About
A short, fast crime picture Michael Curtiz made before the Production Code came in. A former government agent whose assignment in France has failed, and whom his own state has disavowed, is deported back to America. The only work he can find is at a cheap detective agency. Before long he is inside the same story as a crooked gambling club owner who is a client of the agency, and a woman connected to him. The film does nothing to ennoble the profession: detection here does not mean finding the truth but producing the evidence somebody needs. William Powell plays it with a tired, sardonic edge, and sixty six minutes go by without a gap.
