Warning: Spoilers
The ups and downs of a small town family with two contrasting sisters, Marianne and Laura, played by film debutantes Sidney Fox and Bette Davis, one of whom had a mediocre career and one of whom became Hollywood royalty. You can't tell from this film though which one it would be. It is a pleasant film with nothing unsurprising though Wade ending up with Marianne is a bit far fetched.

There are good comedy moments, mainly provided by ZaSu Pitts and young David Durand, who are both hilarious. It is a good cast including Humphrey Bogart as a bounder and a cad and Charles Winninger and Emma Dunn as the parents. Payne B. Johnson was the tiny baby but unlike Ms. Fox and Ms. Davis this was his fourth film! The legendary Karl Freund was the cinematographer.
