- TriviaThis was the first time Joan Crawford and William Haines had starring roles opposite one another, and their chemistry both on and off screen was immediately obvious. They would remain lifelong friends and, when M-G-M canceled Haines' contract after his arrest on a "morals charge", Crawford played a major role in setting him up in a successful second career as an interior decorator, partnered with his lifelong male lover.

Featured review
young Crawford
Mr. Waters is a frustrated golf enthusiast. Jack Kelly works for him as a shipping clerk. He gets angry when Mr. Waters fires his father and drives a golf ball through a window. Instead of being mad, Mr. Waters is taken with his golf swing and invites him to a country club. At the club, he is taken with Allie Monte (Joan Crawford) but she sees right through him.
Joan Crawford is quite young here and almost unrecognizable since I've never seen her as a young woman. I'm also struck by the fact that silent film era comedies don't really work without being broad slapstick. The man had to drop trousers to get close to a laugh. It's a matter of timing. Comedy needs the verbal timing and there's nowhere for a silent film to deliver that. As for the romance, it's pretty standard. This has some good misunderstandings and hurdles. This is fine.
