Undercover Maisie (1947)

A showgirl (Ann Sothern) is coerced into joining the Los Angeles police force by a police Lieutenant (Barry Nelson) who is impressed with her observation skills. While she passes her entrance exams, she finds herself caught up in the rivalry of the Lieutenant and another cop (Mark Daniels) for their romantic attention towards her. Directed by Harry Beaumont (WHEN LADIES MEET) The tenth and final entry in MGM's MAISIE franchise goes out on a high note as this is one of the best entries in the series. Sothern is at her Maisie best here and there's a nice chemistry between her and Nelson. The principal plotline (busting a scamming ring) is well thought out and we even get a chance to see the blonde Sothern going undercover as a brunette! You don't have to be a fan of the series to enjoy this one! With Leon Ames, Gloria Holden, Clinton Sundberg and Douglas Fowley.
