A 60 Min. Pre-Code Soap about Rich People Before and After "The Crash". It's rather Light Weight except for the Pimping Out of Ruth Chatterton by Husband George Brent to get Stock Tips and some Melodramatic Scenes of Poor, Poor, Pitiful Me.
It is a Well Acted bit of Fluff Masquerading as Social Commentary, but the Movie's Convictions Waver and Nothing comes off as that Profound. The most Suffering comes from the Maid and Her Lover as She Tries to Rescues Him from Prison.
It's all just too Surface to Mean Much and the Ending is a Head Scratch. Certainly Worth a Watch for Chatterton Fans and a Glossy Peek at the Lives of Stock Manipulators. It's Hardly Palatable Today and No One On Screen, in Leading Roles, is Anyone Worth Caring much About.
Of some Interest is the Blatant Prostituting and "Insider" Trading that goes on with Nary an Eyebrow Raised and Everyone Drinking and Drinking in Direct Defiance of Prohibition.
