Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe airplane in which Stream takes Lilly to upstate NY is a 1931 Bellanca CH400 "Skyrocket", registration NC12635. It was owned by Wallace Beery. Only 32 planes of this variant were made. Subsequently sold to a mining concern in Saudi Arabia, it was destroyed in 1937.
- GoofsThe police are tricked into believing that a man committed suicide with a gun. He was really murdered, shot from across the room. Even a perfunctory medical examination would make the deception impossible--for example, an absence of powder burns.
- Quotes
Alexander Stream: Oscar, you ought to settle down and have a family.
Oscar: Well, a family's a good thing for a man, Mr. Stream, and especially a married man. But, my model with women is just love 'em and leave 'em.

Featured review
Great Period Piece
I read another review and thought I would offer what I thought were the good points of this film. The film was a typical period B film of man finds girl when wife doesn't pay attention to him. The music is great and was later used as backdrop for short films. Also, we get to see Sidney Toler(who later became Charlie Chan) playing a Chan-like policeman; J. Carrol Naish, who starred as a gangster in many later films; Mary Astor, a star of "The Maltese Falcon", who showed some of the great facials she did in that film; and of course, and early Ginger Rogers. The dialogue is snappy and the direction more than adequate. Enjoy this one, it certainly isn't the greatest ever made, but it never claimed to be - just a film of the times. I gave it a 7 out of 10 for its overall against similar films.
