I'm so old that I can remember when the morality depicted in this movie was still strong. No sex before marriage. And then make an advantageous marriage. This morality is the basis of this film, and the story which is derived from it seem to reflect some of the twenties silents about wild girls-who really weren't so wild.
In any case, Nancy Carroll Kewpie-doll face, much in style at that time, is mesmerizing. This is one attractive woman.A young Cary Grant is also preternaturally attractive. This is a very early film for him, but he already has that Cary Grant manner about him. Here, he has charm, looks, lots of money, and one hell of a custom build car. Chauffeur driven, of course. Randolph Scott appears late; he is one nice guy. Sort of what Ralph Bellamy became a bit later.
If this movie had a message, it was garbled The whole enterprise was fun, although this clearly was not meant to be a comedy. The serious parts of the movie are so dated, that they play as light comedy, not drama..
