Jack Dorgan: [Red has made fun of his furniture selection for his new house] Hey, this stuff isn't kinda'... "flossy," is it?
Furniture Salesman: I wouldn't say so. I think you display excellent taste, Mr. Dorgan.
Red Anderson: I'm sorry. Forget all about it. Why don't you order some lace curtains and pink bedspreads to go with all this junk?

Written by Percy French
Sung briefly by Richard Dix and Chester Morris
The movie is neatly divided into three parts: Dix settling into his home and being played for a sucker by Del Rio; Morris and Del Rio; and the final third, in which the submarine Morris goes to the bottom, and the only man who can save the crew is the angry Dix. It's an attempt to combine the two-buddies-and-a-golddigger plot with the submarine rescue story which Columbia had been doing at least since Frank Capra directed SUBMARINE nine years earlier. While the three leads are, as you might expect, terrific, the seam connecting the two types of story shows. Del Rio was a terrific actress, but the role as written is completely unsympathetic, and director Erle Kenton was not the man to bring out the subtleties that might have made this more than a programmer.
