Quotes:
Tommie Trent:
All I needed was that girl.
Erskine: Listen, you can write her off your next year's income tax as an unavoidable loss.
Tommie Trent: She trembled! She fluttered!
Erskine: I know. But she'll flutter just as well tomorrow.
Tommie Trent: Oh, no, she won't; not her. She's got 'conscience' written all over her face. At this moment, she is cooling off - like some beautiful volcano that has decided not to wipe out a lot of Italian villages.

The opening scene of this film shows Norma Shearer and stuffy Herbert Marshall dressed up as insects for a costume party. This is the highlight of the film - it's all down hill from there. Marshall marries Shearer, even though she plays a woman whose been around the block a few times. Very big of him. Years pass, then he starts worrying about whether Norma is going to start going astray, especially when handsome Robert Montgomery shows up. As the film drags on, Marshall becomes increasingly irritable and short-tempered, while Shearer stands on her head in an effort to please him and live up to the super high pedestal that he has placed her on. The whole business has no credibility. Herbert Marshall made a living in the early 30's playing guys who comes out second to studs like Clark Gable and the like. And so he should. Marshall is a homely stuffed shirt in film after film, and there's no reason why he should ever be the first choice of the gorgeous actresses he played opposite during this time period.
