In one of the early talkies, Connie (Dolores Costello, who will be the real life wife to John Barrymore) meets Neil (Warren William) at a dinner party. William was "The Lone Wolf" for years, and was able to play the good guy or the bad guy with equal skill. It takes until ten minutes in, to find a storyline for this film. We can see why its rated 5.9, but to be fair, that's based on only 95 votes so far. Keep an eye for HB Warner, who played "Chang" in Lost Horizon. you MUST see it, if you haven't already. Versatile actor. Polly Walters is in here, and seems to be a cross between Mae West and Jean Harlow. That screechy little voice! Next Connie meets "Arthur" (Anthony Bushell), but that may or may not work out. From First National/Warner Brothers, it's a film about relationships, chance meetings, and the pre-code morals and standards in the 1930s. This was one of the last films directed by Henley. He had been around for YEARS, acting and directing silents. This one isn't any Shakespeare play, but probably interesting historically, for the actors in it.
