Kenton romantic murder mystery melodrama ("The police want her to talk! Public Enemy No. 1 wants to silence her... forever!"; "Girl trails killer! The hunt is on for - The Public Menace"; "Even Public Enemy No. 1 is scared of her!"; a strange story of a Greek woman on a cruise ship who meets a reporter, and she asks him to marry her, so she can stay in the U.S., but he reasonably asks her why he should do it, and she tells him she has a great tip on a gangster, and the reporter marries her and the story is printed, but it turns out she made up the story, so the reporter is fired, and then she tries to make it up to him) starring Jean Arthur (as the Greek woman!), George Murphy, Douglass Dumbrille, George McKay, and Robert Middlemass. Note that reviews of this movie indicate that it starts out as a sort of screwball romantic comedy, and then veers into melodrama, and that it doesn't succeed well at either. The following year, Jean Arthur would make a similar movie, called "The Whole Town's Talking", with Edward G. Robinson, and that veered between comedy and crime melodrama, and did so very successfully! Perhaps part of the reason this movie doesn't work well is that it started out as "Lady Beware" in 1934, with Miriam Hopkins in it in addition to Jean Arthur and George Murphy, and apparently her part was either re-cast or cut out, and then in 1935 it was re-titled to "Lady of New York" and no doubt the movie was changed quite a bit as well, and later in 1935, it finally became "Public Menace"!
