This second sound remake of "Seven Keys To Baldpate" has enough differences from the 1929 film to merit a look (for example, and probably as a result of the Production Code, the bad guys are no longer crooked politicians but just plain old-fashioned crooks), but eliminates what is by far the best part of its predecessor (the double-twist ending), which makes it play out like a regular old-dark-house mystery-comedy. Gene Raymond is a little too lightweight as the lead even in light fare such as this, but he is surrounded by a lively cast (including two lovely women). Overall the 1929 version is better. **1/2 out of 4.
