Kay Francis is a leading actress in the West End with a mysterious past, a cute daughter in Sybil Jason, and a loving producer in Paul Lukas. But the whiff of scandal sends her fleeing back to the United States, with reporter Ian Hunter (in the first of his nine appearances with Miss Francis) in pursuit, seeking the answer to the mystery.
It's a real woman's weeper for Miss Francis as she bounces from the heights of the stage down to burlesque and back again. Miss Francis is luminous in her close-ups, with the usual eighty-five costume changes. It's piffle, but everyone tries their hardest under the direction of Mervyn Leroy, and the results show on the screen. With Jessie Ralph, Barton MacLane, and Francis X. Bushman Jr (in a tiny role which is sometimes attributed to Erroll Flynn).
