This mild little comedy of how Walter Abel goes to his college homecoming in order to secure a contract for his company might have made a nifty little movie a few years earlier, especially as Una Merkel appears in it and few were better in sexy pre-code comedies than she. But, alas, the enforcement of the Code was embraced enthusiastically by Metro, and this comes through as contrived and a little desperate.
Some amusement is added by a trio of good lead comics doing their shticks: Charles Butterworth does his blank-faced moron and has the most amusing lines; Hugh Herbert plays his amiable ditherer to usual good effect; and most of Walter Catlett's role seems to have wound up on the cutting room floor. Joseph Santley's direction is, as always, competent but unable to produce anything surprising and the other behind-the-camera talent is from Metro's B company. Not really worth your time.
