Whipsaw

New York Newark Pittsburgh St. Louis. Vivian Palmer and Ross McBride are on the lam, trying to put daylight between themselves and pursuing coppers and a rival gang of jewel thieves. But Ross isn't a criminal; he's a G-Man posing as a crook to trick Vivian into leading him to her bosses. And Vivian isn't a dupe. She's wise to Ross's scheme. Under Sam Wood's direction, Myrna Loy and Spencer Tracy scram through larceny, duplicity and love in a she-and-he adventure that critics favorably compared to The Thirty-Nine Steps and It Happened One Night. One year after Whipsaw, Loy and Tracy again shared the marquee (along with Jean Harlow and William Powell) in Libeled Lady.
