Gangway (1937)
Newspaper film critic Pat Wayne (Jessie Matthews) boards an ocean liner to New York to interview glamorous movie star Nedda Beaumont (Olive Blakeney). Once aboard, Pat somehow gets mixed up with a gangster (Nat Pendleton), and a Scotland yard inspector (Barry MacKay), who both mistake her for a female jewel thief called "Sparkle."
Inspector Bob Deering is on the trail of ‘Sparkle’, an international jewel thief. He meets a newspaper reporter, Pat, who is writing a story about a film star and obtaining information by pretending to be her maid. When she accepts an invitation from Bob for an evening out, she is sacked and, to save her reputation, she steals a necklace. Unfortunately, the necklace actually belongs to a friend of Bob and leads him to suspect that Pam is actually the elusive ‘Sparkle’.
