Presnell, is not only a fast-moving, suspenseful tale of the upper crust, it is also a powerful and articulate indictment of racketeering and po- litical chicanery. Pat O'Brien, Edward Arnold, Broderick Crawford and Ruth Ter- ry, the new Wanger discovery who is known in Hollywood as “little cupcake,” receive top biling in the excellent cast. Briefly, the tale of “Slightly Honorable” revolves around civic corruption, scandal in high places and a series of startling crimes.
