Handlung
WUSSTEST DU SCHON:
- WissenswertesCharley Grapewin and Clara Blandick, who appear in this film, also appeared together in Das zauberhafte Land (1939), as Uncle Henry and Auntie Em.
- PatzerThe wire regarding Matthew's arrival is dated in June, but the calendars in Paul's office have either 28 or 31 days (consistent with January and February 1935).
- Zitate
Opening Subtitle: PARTY WIRE - means in America one telephone line shared by several subscribers in the same locality for economy's sake. It has however the disadvantage that it enables the various parties to *listen-in* to one another's conversation.

Interesting period piece
Enjoyable yarn that takes its inspiration from the party line, a concept that may be unfamiliar to many people today. In rural areas, many telephone subscribers would share the same telephone number. I actually had a party line in rural new Jersey as recently as the 1970's! Different households had different rings to distinguish one from another. However, nosy neighbors could listen in to each other's conversations, just like when a member of your family picks up the upstairs extension. As a result, gossip and news traveled fast in small town America back in the early part of the twentieth century. The plot revolves around an certain overheard conversation that leads to an ugly rumor. (Misstated, by the way in the review by Eva, who captures the gist of things in a review with many factual errors)
This movie features many of the great character actors of the thirties and is led by by the always-wonderful Jean Arthur. It has the fast pace typical of the movies of the period. A very well made time capsule of rural America between the wars. Worth a look.
