Pre-Code but prissy -- with gorgeous Young
23 December 2007
The first shot of Loretta Young finds her playing the organ at the church in her small town. She wears a hat with a wide brim: She turns and faces us, still playing. And she looks like a homegrown but rare flower.

She had a slightly weak chin but generally, Young was one of the loveliest looking women in the history of Hollywood.

She gets out of the small town here. David Manners, there on business,n helps motivate this move.

In Manhattan she runs into all sorts of characters Louis Calhern: He is a bad guy. George Brent: Did he ever play a less than admirable character? Una Merkel is perky if you like the type. And Helen Vinson is restrained as Manners's fiancée.

It's definitely a women's picture. The situations are somewhat racy. But it isn't much fun. Or, in the end, very interesting.
