forgotten and forgettable comedy, 16 July 2007

Author: malcolmgsw from london

In the year that this was made all of the major studios were busily making over 50 films a year.Some of them masterpieces,some of them still remembered but the majority of them forgotten.This is one such film.I had never heard of it when i purchased a copy.I bought it on the strength of the cast.It is a familiar story.Son of wealthy businessman wants to strike out on his own and prove his worth to his father.It is difficult to believe that the Carole Lombard here is the same woman who only 6 years later would star in such films as Nothing Sacred or Swing High Swing Low.In this film she seems a little gawky and unsure of herself.Norman Foster is not one of my favourite actors and his performance in this film is just as poor as in orher films of the same period.So this film is only of historical interest for watching a nascent Carol Lombard
