Go for the rich guy!
24 July 2022
So, this story promotes the idea that you should follow your dreams and bag a rich guy. Forget the local boy. Small town girl Janet Gaynor (Kay) accidently lands herself in the wealthy world of surgeon Robert Taylor (Bob). Taylor has a fiancée Binnie Barnes (Priscilla) but he has a reckless casual attitude to life, speeding along in cars & picking up women. He's a spoilt brat. Can Gaynor change this?

The film is ok but leans towards the boring and sentimental. It has a generous helping of irritating characters - that damn kid who needs an operation - I don't care!!! Joan Russell plays a much better kid - she's a big baby and she's funny. How about Willie Fung (So-So)? Disgraceful foolish rubbish. The film loses interest but you watch to see how things will work out. This is because James Stewart (Elmer) is also in the film and is in love with Gaynor. He has a local job, even gets promoted and looks a bit similar to Taylor, so is there in the looks department as well. What does Gaynor do? It's quite cruel, really. I didn't like it.
