Don't waste your time,
Author: sarasdano from Costa Mesa, CA
This is an extremely dull and pointless movie. I truly had to force myself to see the end (only because I cannot turn off a movie once I've started it). I expected more from Herbert Marshall, but there's just no substance to any of these characters. And was there a big turnaround at the end? No, it just fizzled into nothing. It's one of those movies that you forget the second it ends, and that's not saying much. Sometimes there's a reason that bad movies are shown only in the middle of the night

Yes, and I did not understand everything ...

Note, however, excellent portraits of Maureen ...

This compensates for the tedium of the beholder ...

:thumbs_up:

Remake of 1932 film with Katharine Hepburn, the script and production were not up to scratch and the film was not a success upon its release.

In addition, John Farrow had inappropriate behavior with Maureen (Maureen dixit)
