-- Is it just basically awful? I am inclined to think the latter.
The Surrealistic dream sequences may have come from German Expressionist movies. The translation, if so, was a bad one. And the split- screen may have come via Gance's "Napoleon." In any event, to me this movie is singularly lacking in charm. Brunette Rogers plays a self-absorbed operator. The title characters are men who woo her, or whom she woos. George Murphy plays a gauche car salesman. Burgess Meredith is a dreamer with a negligible job. And Marshall is a millionaire.
The whole affair is overly precious without being at all likable.
