Description   With an editor who won't leave him alone because the leads are constantly rolling in, wannabe investigative reporter Joe Miller (Ben Lyon) can't get a decent night's rest from his waterfront beat. Forced to cover everything from bootleggers to herring stench, mob arrests to nude swimmers, he's got no choice- he'd be out a job if he doesn't jump when the boss says so. His pantheon of sources, all characters, comes to include the daughter (Claudette Colbert at her sassy best)of his favorite mark for reporting: Eli Kirk, a kingpin of the docks and bootlegger extraordinaire. Seeing his in with Kirk's daughter, Julie, Miller dogs the seafarer, convinced he can pin him with illegal immigration of Chinese workers (whose lives are quickly extinguished by smugglers if the KGB-like Coast Guard should come their way, sirens blasting). This underrated, saucy, journalism film has got life, wit, and zest in presenting the determination and desperation of the shipping and fishing docks on the Pacific Ocean in the 1930s. For those who like "It Happened One Night", -fans of great quotes, the boozer/ace/snoopy journalist flicks, or Claudette Colbert's big doe eyes, it's a must see film.   Cast Claudette Colbert - Julie Kirk Ben Lyon - Joseph Miller Ernest Torrence - Eli Kirk Hobart Cavanaugh - McCoy Maurice Black - Ortegus Harry Beresford - Old Chris Purnell Pratt - John Phelps Claudia Coleman - Mother Morgan Al Hill - Sailor George Humbert - Tony Silva Wilfred Lucas - Randall Rosita Marstini - Mrs. Silva Lee Phelps - Reporter
