    Yes , it's a blatant copy of Little Miss Marker

    Yes , this is a blatant ripoff of the Paramount movie Little Miss Marker that came out four years before No, the little female star is not as wonderful as Shirley Temple - though She's fine In her own right.

    The big problem for me , other than the inferiority of the script , is that the male lead is uninteresting and unlikeable Ann Sheridan does what she can with her part , but there's nothing to it

    It couldn't have equaled Little Miss Marker , but it could have been better
