This film is Humphrey Bogart's 2nd film and alongside him making her film Debut is the Fabulous Bette Davis. With them is Sidney Fox who plays the eldest sister who is according to many the Bad Sister, she is a constant bind to her parents and meets the City conman played by Bogart who is going to bring lots of money and jobs to their small town, she dumps her Boyfriend who indecently Davis the good sister fancies ....she forges her fathers signature which helps Bogart and allows the him to steal from investors, they run off together and well in the end she is also dumped.

Meanwhile Davis, the good sister, has the happy ending by gaining the good guy and all ends happy.

Davis and Bogart are little known when this came to the screen and its also pre Warner days for both of them as This was a Universal Picture. i feel they failed to make these stars shine enough considering how big Davis and Bogart became under Warners wing... more fool them.

its a great little story but only 68 minutes long it had little time to pan out into a more memorable film but i still gave a rating of 10/10 because its a classic and it features two of my most favoured actors and just as they were sprouting their wings...
