Aline MacMahon, Ann Dvorak and Paul Kelly star in this largely forgotten little gem. Aline works in the fur business and Paul Kelly is a drifter who looks for work on ships but whose undependable reputation keeps him from being hired. A hungry Paul Kelly is fortunate to meet up with Aline MacMahon, who takes him in and feeds him. Things progress as usual in this short drama, but the performances of all really make up for any flaws the film may have, especially Aline. This is arguably her best performance on screen, with the exception being Dragon Seed. She is excellent and the others are cast well in their parts. I heartily recommend this to those who love good old movies and these actors.
