Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaRKO received numerous letters of complaint from glass-blowers unions when the new technology of beer in cans was featured in this film. The first commercially successful introduction of canned beer was on January 24, 1935 in Richmond, Virginia due to a partnership between the American Can Company and the Gottfried Krueger Brewing Company. It was so successful that by the end of 1935, over 200,000,000 cans of beer had been sold by various brewers across the USA.
- GoofsWhen Gerry arrives at the Talbots' costume party and is going towards the staircase, the shadow of pretty much all the sound equipment, the boom pole and mike, fall across a couple of partygoers in the foreground.

Light Touch Saves Yet Another Noble Harding Picture
Really, how much of these noble suffering roles could Ann Harding take without puking? It isn't simply a matter of typecasting; often typecasting, particularly for stars in the studio period was simply a matter of finding a good compromise between their talents and the sort of vehicle the public would accept. And assuredly, Miss Harding could carry this sort of superior suffering with a great deal of class.
I suppose the way to handle this is the way director Stephen Roberts did: make sure that the supporting actors are amusing. Edward Ellis, best known for his role as the eponymous murder victim in THE THIN MAN is utterly charming as Harding's father-in-law, and Walter Abel's cohort of tipsy gamblers are also amusing. This was a strength of Mr. Roberts' directing. It is a pity he died the year this was released as Hollywood lost a talented director in him.
In terms of story, this seems like a cross between THEODORA GOES WILD and THE WOMEN. If you're not overloaded on Ann Harding movies you should enjoy it greatly. Even if you are, the supporting talent makes it worthwhile.
