fun caper on a serious subject
This is a must see....if just for the huge stars at their glamorous best. Edward horton must have made a deal with the devil... he doesn't look anywhere near 48. Cutie mary astor at 28, years before maltese falcon. Dashing adolphe menjou, looking younger than 44. Gen Tobin, looking younger than 34. Hugh herbert is in here for comedy. And the steamy plot. Some great filthy double entendres about 14 minutes in, when wifey is on the phone. If this was released in january 1934, they must have been filming in 1933, just as the film production code was being phased in. But they seem to have snuck this past the censors, or the rules weren't being enforced yet. We watch three couples deal with marriage in various levels of happiness. It's mostly light and fluffy, even with the serious subject of cheating on one's spouse. Moves rapidamente. A warner brothers shortie, at 61 minutes. No wasted lines. Directed by bill keighley. Based on the play by thompson buchanan. Had a bunch of plays made into film. Fun. The picture and sound are exceptionally high quality... it must have been a good restoration!
