Audience Reviews for Footsteps in the Dark

Footsteps in the Dark (1941)Errol Flynn was the Charlie Sheen of the 1940s and 50s. His fun-loving boyish charm had women eating out of his hand, despite him getting into some romantic troubles. This comedy shows off Flynn's charm and comedy chops better than ever.Francis Warren (Flynn) is a high society stock broker

A nice change of pace for Errol Flynn, and he does excellent. It's light and very entertaining, top notch cast with the supporting players particularly good. Suspenseful as well as amusing. Good fun.
