Substantially, Lupe Velez' Columbia vehicle Redhead from Manhattan was
the same as her previous RKO starrers-boisterous, unsubtle, and
immensely profitable. La Lupe plays a dual role, as twin sisters named Rita
and Elaine. Escaping from a torpedoed ship, Rita shows up in New York,
where she takes the place of her Broadway-star sister Elaine, who's
having problems with her marriage and needs to make a short but quick
getaway. Naturally, neither Elaine's husband (Gerald Mohr) nor Rita's
saxophone-player boyfriend (Michael Duane) are aware of the switch.
Anyone who can't figure out what happens next should be drummed out
of the theater in disgrace. And as always, a little of Lupe Velez goes a
long, long way.
