Affair In Reno - 1957 - 5/10
Lightweight (very) drama with comedy and crime elements.
J.B.’s high spirited daughter wants to marry … again. This time to a casino owner / gangster.
Who does J.B. send to straighten this mess? A dunce from public relations with the IQ of a hamster.
Straight off the man is out of his depth, menaced by thugs.
Not to fear, J.B. hires a bodyguard to protect him – and the $100,000 cash he is carrying.
Female bodyguard.
A flurry of sexist jokes and situations with zero innuendo or steam, and the comedy is trite.
Doris Singleton as the bodyguard is the best thing in this “feels like TV” twaddle.
The villains were well cast heavies.
Fans of television character actors from the 50’s and 60’s may smile seeing faces in this lemon.
