Review of He Couldn't Say No

Let's face it, Frank McHugh was no leading actor. He was generally in supporting roles during his movie career so this was certainly a change for him. In addition, we have a very young Jane Wyman in a role which she would later be unaccustomed to-a selfish, ready to dominate young woman. The real steal the scenes here is Cora Witherspoon, who is quite funny as Wyman's mother-both are ready to totally dominate McHugh who has his own dream girl in mine.

The plot is rather silly as McHugh buys a statue at an auction and soon becomes the target of people wanting it.

Independence and domination don't mix and this film proves it.
