Has anyone seen this? Any good? How much screen time does Shemp get?

So, this comes out today. Is anyone going to get it?

I've never seen it, but considering Shemp's name on the marquee is really small, my gut feeling says he has a small role in comic relief in an otherwise dramatic picture.  Perhaps I'm wrong and somebody will say otherwise, but this smells like a minor role from a far.

Then again......maybe not a dramatic picture.  "Chuckle while you shudder!"  "Shiver while you laugh!"  ........and Shemp is lower billed?  I'm sure Allyn Joslyn rocks, though.

The page for this film here says Shemp appears as a dim-witted laundry man, which sounds like a good role for him. A 2010 post from BeAStooge says Shemp is featured in the first 6 minutes.

DVDTalk reviewed this DVD-R last week: http://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/56680/strange-affair-1944/

The transfer is "good-looking" and the film comes recommended to "B" movie aficionados.
