Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaStar Marion Davies had seen Leslie Howard on Broadway in "Berkeley Square" and insisted that he be her co-star in this film, even though MGM production head Irving Thalberg wanted Clark Gable. When first meeting Howard in person at Hearst's estate San Simeon, she was surprised at his height and made Howard wear lifts in his shoes.
- GoofsAt the end, the ship the Raricks are depicted as sailing on is shown as two different liners - the first with two funnels and the second and last one with three.

Traditional ballad
Sung a cappella by Douglass Montgomery
** (out of 4)
Extremely boring melodrama has the owner of a chain of Five and Dime stores moving his family to New York City and it doesn't take long for his daughter (Marion Davies) to get involved with society. There she meets a young man (Leslie Howard) who she thinks is for her but soon one problem after another hampers their relationship. Having watched this just minutes after Davies' earlier film THE FLORODORA GIRL, it's quite apparent that this must have been a production that William Randolph Hearst had his hands in. Unlike the previous film that took drama and mixed in great comedy, a strength of Davies, this film here just milks everything so dry by trying to be so dramatic and serious by the time the ending comes you're either going to be asleep or simply not caring what happens. This is an incredibly dry and boring melodrama that each second seems to be screaming out at the viewer to be "impressed" with what's going on. Each scene is just presented in such a "proper" and "serious" manor that you have to wonder if these people ever have any fun. Davies does what she can with the role but this here certainly isn't a highlight of her career. Howard appears smothered by everything and the two really don't have much chemistry. FIVE AND DIME remains mildly entertaining thanks to the stars but at the same time you know you're just watching fluff.
