William Holden is a screen writer, who stumbles upon her crumbling mansion and agrees to help fix her screenplay. Norma believes the screenplay will lead to a

O caso Canary Murder (1929) foi orixinalmente filmado como un filme mudo. Porén, o executivo da Paramount Estudo penso que sería mellor como unha película falada. O estudo atrasou o lanzamento ata que puidesen engadir son á película. A adición de son non era sen os seus retos. Desafortunadamente, one of the main stars of the film, Louise Brooks, had
