Penthouse

Gertie Waxted (Myrna Loy) knows how a notorious gangster Jim Crelliman runs his rackets, because shes long been under the hoodlums thumb. No more. Shes secretly helping lawyer Jackson Durant (Warner Baxter) in a snoop job aimed at pinning a murder on the thug. Her life will be in peril when that secret gets out. And theres something else that wont stay hush-hush: Gertie and Jackson are falling in love.  This girls going to be a big star! director W.S. Van Dyke declared about Loy, who heretofore had often been cast in minor, exotic roles. The filmmaker was instrumental in making his prediction come true, casting Loy with William Powell the next year in her starmaking The Thin Man.
