Trina (Loretta Young) is starving and gets invited to a fancy dinner by a well-dressed Bill (Spencer Tracy). It turns out that he's also poor and lives in a shanty camp. He needs some money and goes serve a summon to starlet Fay La Rue (Glenda Farrell).
My first impression is that Bill is a free spirit from a 70's movie. The melodrama does take over and his charm fades. He's a complicated guy. This is pre-Code. There is a re-release version that is post-Code. I don't think the audience appreciated this back in the day. He is definitely a 70's anti-hero character. The only thing is that I would like a more tragic ending.
