DANGEROUS APPOINTMENT

Cinemavixion Review

This 1935 melodrama, "Dangerous Appointment," helmed by Frank R. Strayer, offers a glimpse into the low-budget productions of Chesterfield Pictures. The narrative follows Dorothy Brooks, a young woman falsely accused of shoplifting and subsequently blackmailed by her lecherous boss. When she resists his advances, he falls to his death, leading her to flee and unknowingly cross paths with the son of the department store owner, Donald Cabot, Jr. The plot unfolds with predictable twists, culminating in the revelation that the supposed victim was the actual thief. While the direction is described as static, typical of its era and budget constraints, the film relies on its familiar tropes to deliver a straightforward, if unsurprising, tale of innocence tested and ultimately vindicated.
