This is an interesting 1929 film about love and fidelity in marriage. Adolph Menjou does his first sound film and manages to throw in a little French as well as singing to show off his chops.
The film was only preserved in 2015 from nitrate prints by the preservation group at UCLA.
Menjou is a performing concert pianist who has tremendous appeal for all of his female fans. They follow him as if he is a modern day rock star. However, he is married to his devoted wife (Fay Compton) who anticipates and serves his every personal need.
One socialite who is extremely interested in the pianist is very persistent in pursuing him, however(Miriam Seegar). Miriam is also already married to a successful scientific researcher (John Miljan).
The four main characters sort out their relationships in a somewhat entertaining way. It is enjoyable to watch but is not a ground-breaker.
