In the midst of his halcyon days as one of the busiest talents in show business, Mickey Rooney directed this unusual drama produced in association with My True Story magazine. Helen Walker (Nightmare Alley) gives a fantastic performance as a paroled ex-con who gets railroaded into working with a gang of thieves who are after an unusual payoff—a supply of myrrh, the secret ingredient used in “Temptation” perfume. Walker is hired as a companion to Madame Rousseau, the elderly recluse who controls the supply, and she’s coerced into pilfering the stash any way she can. A true rarity, it’s a showcase for Walker, one of the most talented and tragically ill-fated actresses of the era.
