Ben Lyon Is Worth Watching, 5 September 2004
8/10
Author: drednm

Handsome Ben Lyon has never been more loose and charming than he is here as a riveter with eyes for a rich girl (Ona Munson). The songs are clever but forgettable. The supporting cast is top notch, with Walter Pigeon, Thelma Todd, Inez Courtney, and Tom Dugan all doing well and especially Nella Walker as the acidic mother (Oh, stop sweating!). And while the construction scenes are all back shots, Lyon proves a nimble girder walker. Lyon should have been a bigger star; he's handsome and has a nice singing voice, but he always seemed to be cast in these B productions at B studios. His wife, Bebe Daniels, didn't fare much better. So Ben Lyon went the route of William Haines and John Gilbert and was washed up in Hollywood by the mid-30s. This is still worth a look. The country estate is gorgeous!
