You know you're in for a turkey dinner when you see the stupid opening credit
13 July 2023
And make that a cold turkey dinner.

This film is just plain bad. Bad as in not good at all. The reason we gave it 4 stars is because of the cast. Arthur Treacher didn't get a credit but he is there, as is Harold Huber in a bit at a hamburger stand. Charles butter worth and Binnie Barnes and the Great Rosalind Russell, though they don't do much, do lift the turkey a good bit also.

But what are we talking here? Some really rich people. Some really bad people. The height of the depression. This ain't no screwball nonsense either. What we got here is a just an excuse for bad behavior. And the three leads behave plenty badly (well gable much less than the other two)

We not going to spoil it for you. Watch this thing if you must but be warned, it drags everything out and never gets to the point. As we here rather loathe mommie dearest, we firmly state she is terrible terrible terrible. Gable has just one trick, it ain't that bad, and he used that in all the movies he made in 1934. Montgomery is fine given the horrid lines he must repeat. It over all this is a complete waste f time.
