I am not Lombard's biggest fan but I do enjoy her films. I don't think I've seen them all, but this is by far the worst of the ones I've seen. I know that Gravey was a huge star in France, but for me it's kind of like Jerry Lewis being a huge star in France: why?? I found him particularly unappealing in every way. And although it was my second viewing, I never did figure out whether his character was playing her because she was rich or genuinely loved her. Nor did I care. I figured if she ended up with him she got what she deserved. There's a reason this film is not well known. As someone else said, only for diehard Lombard fans.
