With “Shep” (Cesar Romero) ruling one side of Chicago and “Pretty Willie” (Sheldon Leonard) the other, a sort of peace prevails amongst the gangsters. This equilibrium is endangered, though, when “Shep” encounters “Judy” (Virginia Gilmore) and to keep her close he offers her a position as his nanny. Nanny to whom, though? He hasn’t any children so enter the stroppy young “Harry” (Stanley Clements) who is playing along without knowing the true identity of his “dad”. Of course, “Willie” immediately takes a shine to her too, but amidst their brief rutting the latter man discovers something fairly significant about his opposite number. It’s so significant that it will change the balance of power - but what can “Shep” do? It’s quite a fun comedy drama, this one, but boy are there holes in the plot. To be fair, that isn’t a predictable one and there are a few (implausible) twists along the way as we head to the spectre of a conclusion that offers just desserts all round. Romero puts on his usual charm but Gilmore doesn’t really make much impact. For that we really need to look at Milton Berle’s “Frosty” - the right hand man who likes a bottle or two, and to the engagingly attitudinal Clements who clearly went to the Jimmy Cagney school of mobster lingo. It’s all perfectly enjoyable to watch with a solid underlying story, but is really too sloppily put together and I doubt I’ll ever remember it.
