After starting off as a Mack Sennett bathing beauty and working her way up from shorts to features things started to fall apart for Marie Prevost. She had married Kenneth Harlan and they lived life to it's fullest but in 1926 the studio did not renew their contracts and also during the year Marie's mother died in a car accident. Her marriage over, she went to P.D.C., a small time studio where she had some roles (teamed with Harrison Ford) which gave her back some of her sparkle, among them a sizzling bedroom farce "A Blonde for a Night" - a film with a plot as fluffy as Marie's hair!!
After rhapsodizing over the fact that they haven't had a quarrel after a week's wedded bliss the tiffs soon start and don't stop!! Into this comes Bob's old school friend, George (T. Roy Barnes) with his "stocks and blondes" jokes, especially the one about "the bottle of peroxide with the baby stare you used to spend your money on" haha, but Marcia doesn't find it so funny!!
Franklin Pangborn, the second named in the cast, is terrific as Hector, a prissy French fashion designer who decks Marcia out in a beautiful shimmering gown and a blonde wig. He is also responsible for a lot of the film's fun. In one scene he is behind a curtain, George looks down at him and says "give that leg back his bracelet and get rid of him"!!! Marcia is asked to model some gowns and in her blonde wig disguise she attempts to have some fun with the boys and comes across with some very heavy vamping!! George has brought Bob along, describing him as "a human lemon just waiting around for someone to give him a squeeze"!!! A lot of fun is in the snappy titles and in the fact that dopey Bob never quite cottons on to the fact that the little blonde vamp is his very own Marcia.
When Hector, emerging from the bedroom in a pair Japanese pyjamas, calls Marcia "a wig wearing woman" you can almost hear Pangborn's exasperated tones.
