Second-echelon leading man Don Castle (later a TV producer) stars in yet
another Sol M. Wurtzel production, Roses Are Red. Kidnapped by political
boss Locke (Edward Keane), honest district attorney Throne (Castle) is
replaced by his less-than-honest look-alike. Even the DA's intimates are
fooled by the substitution, which is only one of the many hard-to-believe
contrivances of Irving Elman's screenplay. Before the film's 65 minutes
have expended themselves, the real DA escapes — then pretends to be
his look-alike so that he can catch Locke at his own game. Incredibly, the
film's two leading ladies — Peggy Knudsen and Patricia Knight — more
closely resemble one another than the two Don Castles!
