Anakin L Apr 12, 2019 The first pairing of Crawford and Gable is Good. Both would go on to improve as the talkies continued to get better technically. The film I viewed had an excessive amount of scratches, although it was probably the best print available. The basic plot of the film needs work. It can't seem to stick to one theme and execute it before moving on to something else. The hysterical theatrics involved in the film do not necessarily reflect the times as this kind of reaction was only seen in the movies -- as we see here. Nevertheless, it's good enough to watch, and it's a movie you like despite the ridiculous ending. I guess they had to do it because high society girls had to be saved from the grind of the work day world. The world that all the rest of us inhabit. See more

Theodore R Jan 24, 2018 ~ A classic of the early '30's - especially the Crawford tap scene at almost an hour - and more of a Prohibition era crime yarn than a dance movie. A brother & sister's world goes akimbo in the wake of current events, the Crash of '29, and they're forced naively into a darkening & unfamiliar world. Some of Crawford's lines about sampling a relationship before jumping-in are startling for what one thought were the more conservative, coquettish mores of the day. ~ Not great perhaps, it's still a good look at the legendary pairing of Gable & Crawford in the crank 'em out movie-a-month studio system. ~ Of interest, Gable is listed with the full-screen cast of Supporting Players, not as a headliner. Crawford is still a beauty here; in just 2-yrs she would begin the morph into the unattractive middle & older aged lady she became. | ~ Norm de Guerre See more
