User Reviews

So-So Soap

I watched this mainly because it features a young Humphrey Bogart in an early leading role. Bogart plays a clean-cut aircraft engineer embarking on a relationship with a rich girl that is almost thwarted by misunderstandings and duplicity on the part of interested parties. It's no great movie but, after a slowish start it gathers pace nicely - and, at only 68 minutes long, isn't really long enough to outlive it's welcome. Bogart fails to stand out in what is admittedly a fairly insipid role, and shows little of the star quality he would display less than ten years later.
