Secret Evidence (1941)

Marjorie Reynolds (of Holiday Inn fame) is a secretary to a young district attorney (Charles Quigley). He gets promoted and asks her to marry him. But her old flame is paroled from prison and comes looking for her. Then her brother is framed for a shooting, and her fiancee has to prosecute him. Very interesting and tense scene when her fiance has to question her under oath at the trial.

The quality of the production is not the greatest, and the absence of background music in most of the footage gives it a "dead" feel, but the plot is decent. Not great, or even really very good, but worth a look from old movie fans.

Kitty McHugh is a brassy fellow-secretary and friend of Reynolds.
