Double Cross (1941)



 

When a cop is shot dead during a raid, and another is mistakenly shot for killing him, his fellow officer friend goes undercover on his own to bust up the criminal's operation. 

Average undercover crime thriller delivers all the usual goods , but is otherwise not quite remarkable.

Maltin*1/2: "Mild account...nothing unusual."

Pot o' Gold (1941)



The owner of a failed music shop, goes to work with his uncle, the owner of a food factory, and as he gets there, he befriends an Irish family who happens to be his uncle's worst enemy because of their love for music and in-house band who constantly practices.

Likeable lively, but rather simple-minded comedy romance entertains, but is marred by - too much music!

Halliwell (no star): "Thin Capraesque comedy which needed more determined handling."

Maltin**: "Very minor item...Stewart called this his worst movie!"
