Saw this in it's "Desirable Lady" guise. Jan Wiley plays an "exotic" dancer who get's stitched up by her agent/fella (Phil Warren) and ends up in jail for behaviour unbecoming. I'm not sure quite why, the dancing is about as erotic as a cup of Horlicks! Anyway, I digress; she is bailed by a rather dubious bailsman (Eddie Dunn) who reckons she might be a dead ringer for a long-missing heiress and off we go as they try to rinse a wealthy shampoo family. Janet Scott steals this as "Aunt Sarah" and it's not a bad little deception (melo)drama, but it is way over-scripted and the least said about the film editing, the better.
