      Mrs. Atherton: Just one moment. Things are starting to become very clear to me, particularly since the one thing in New York you can count on is that nothing is what it seems to be.

    • Crazy credits
      Everything said about Nebraska is true. Every Nebraskan has sarcastic sarcasm.

    Awful
    Even the great Edna May Oliver couldn't save this travesty. It's anti-feminist theme pits a seemingly tough Maureen O'Sullivan against a blustery Walter Pidgeon. A bad script, sub par performances and ridiculous scenarios pretty much describe this film. I was hoping Edna May would punch, and deservedly so, the bully Pidgeon. The only good thing about this cinematic nonsense is that it's only 75 minutes long.
