I remember when first seeing this film, being pleasantly surprised at the expertise of Ms. Young. Not many realize her long career began at the close of the silent film era (she was about 13), and that her talent was respected in the film industry. Like a lot of later generation viewers, I had the image of her TV program in mind, through reruns. That makes some of her older movies an especial treat. Like a lot of good actresses, she decried being used for a string of weak projects, and this one was an improvement over many of the previous phoned-in type roles. And, like many others also, she came into a better field of work after her contract expired and she began freelancing. I thought she and Aherne did a good job together in this venue, popular at the time.
