Rating:  - I would have rather seen her with Ricardo...
I thought this movie was very watchable, and for the most part enjoyable, but I was disappointed in the end. I don't understand what Mary Astor's character saw in Mr. Duneen.

While Ricardo Cortez's character left much to be desired as well (a married man who only stayed married for the money) he was light years more likable than Mr. Duneen. Even so, worth viewing once.

The plot has neither got big surprises or mysteries, nor is it too sophisticated (let's say it's no Lubitsch), but this modest picture is ... Read More
Rating:  - Early Mary Astor in Pre-Code Vehicle
This is a pretty interesting slice of Pre-Code movie-making from 1931. While there isn't anything too spicy going on by today's standards (no nudity or obvious sexual innuendo), there are highly veiled hints of naughtiness and fallen women.
Mary Astor plays Mary Linden, a secretary that helps a crass salesman named James Duneen rise up the corporate ladder until he becomes top dog of the company. She's secretly been in love with Duneen forever, and stays loving and loyal even though he likes to ... Read More
