When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Bill Carter (John Lund) is an agent working for a rich guy, Mr. Del Monte. His job is to either give a sleazy gambler a payoff NOT to marry Del Monte's foolish daughter or, preferably, convince this daughter not to marry the guy. Unfortunately, the gambler IS a sleaze-bag and has a couple heavies on hand to relieve Carter of the money ($100,000)...deal or no deal. Fortunately, a female detective, Nora (Doris Singleton), is also working for Del Monte and informs Carter she's there to protect him. Unfortunately, Carter is a sexist jerk and wants nothing to do with her...at least at first.This is a fair enough movie to watch BUT also is irritating by modern standards. Carter is a bit of a dummy and Nora is so smart and capable...yet, inexplicably, she falls for the dope by the end of the picture...an obvious and expected cliché...but one that spoils the film a bit. After all, WHY would she like Carter? And, wouldn't this somehow not be consistent with her character?

Well, I was not so surprised with this one. Republic Studios were used to make those sort of mixed up of thriller, westerns, comedies...I would say it was their trade mark; for instance features with cars and phones...Such as Roy Rogers B westerns...Back to AFFAIR IN RENO, we can see a normal guy - John Lund - who arrives in the Biggest Little City in the world - Reno - with one hundred grands in his coat. A little bullion in bank notes given by a wealthy man to a casino owner so that he marries his daughter...And our hero discovers that he has a bodyguard, designed by the rich guy to protect him against people with bad purposes, a bodyguard in petticoat. Nothing less... You can guess the following. I will tell no more about it.A good time waster. And a RG Springsteen film is always worth for anyone who loves B movies.
