This movie definitely is far from the greatest ever made, and, in fact, has some pronounced shortcomings. Still, it moves briskly, is entertaining, and has a whole lot of charm.

Chief in the charm department is a very young, lovely, light and breezy Bette Davis, as likeable (albeit intrusive) thoroughly lovestruck rich girl Malbro, who has eyes for, and target on, only Julian Tierney (portrayed by handsome frequent co-star George Brent) - who is hopelessly in love with married Caroline Grannard (Ruth Chatterton). Malbro makes no secret, whatsoever, of her forever fawning over Julian. In fact she regularly reminds him of it, just in case he might decide he's actually finally willing to give her time of day.

Davis' thoroughly delightful Malbro definitely is easily the highlight of this movie. Davis gives a performance that, if you're a fan, or a fan of early-'30s films, you certainly won't want to miss it; Malbro is an absolute treat. She's not only very amusingly portrayed but, in typical Davis fashion - who knew how to always bring a "something extra" factor to proceedings - touching, adorable, and entirely credible seeming.

Something I always enjoy and appreciate whenever I watch this movie (which I have the DVD of) are the stunning, stylish, very flattering fashions worn by beautiful Adrienne Dore, who portrays Allison Adair, the woman who Caroline's husband, Greg, has been having an affair with. Allison is quite the early '30s fashion plate. I enjoy seeing her elegant gowns (as well as her wearings of less formal other fashions), that look very much like ones I've seen in old family studio portraits and snapshots from the same period of my late mom's older sister and some of their young-adult female 1st cousins back then who likewise were fashion plates and dressed and fixed themselves (including hairstyles) similarly.

Speaking of Allison, I really like her hairpins little "will they spend the night together or won't they?" test that she sets up against a bedroom door, when she hopes to be able to get dirt on Caroline. I've never, in any other movie, seen anyone set up such a test, and found that quite ingenious!

In this film I tremendously enjoy blues singer Virginia Verrill, who performs in a nightclub at one point. Miss Verrill isn't credited, though she's who the singer is. I've always been crazy about music of the '20s and early '30s (despite that those decades were long before my time).

Overall, I consider this movie probably a 6.5, though since we're not able to give half-stars on TMDb - and since this film (which I enjoy) has certain things definitely going for it - I've gone with a 7 rating (which I'm comfortable with as at times I consider this, easily, a 7 or somewhat higher).
