2/10
Not so hot.....

Warning: Spoilers
I wouldn't give this an "awful", but it was nearly so. The story was so preachy---I guess it was meant to be. Kay's character Diane and her furs fling into town and steal an old inamorata away from his wife---on their 10th wedding anniversary! That's the bottom of the barrel, no doubt. The thing with Kay Francis was that she always had that little smirky smile on face...did she always play super-rich, super-intelligent women? If so, didn't she get tired of it? Back to story...why Indignant Wife didn't march over to the garden swing, grab The Hussy by her shiny hair and drag her around the yard (and kick Hubby With The Wandering Eye right square where it hurt the worst) is beyond me, and why didn't the 80+ guests go find Bobby for the cake-cutting themselves?? All valid questions, IMO. Anyway, Hussy gets her comeuppance; I was sure waiting for a cat fight when she met Ex-Wife at the door as she was leaving~~~didn't happen. Best part of the movie? The passenger train receding down the track. As an aside, was that train doing about 200 mph? LOL! Silly, silly, silly movie.
