- Quotes
Betty Bartholomew: [barging into his office, holding a newspaper] Listen to me, Peter Lawrence. Did you write this?
Peter Lawrence: If it's in my column, I guess I did.
Betty Bartholomew: Well, you oughta be assumed of yourself, saying I don't support my mother and that she had to go the poorhouse.
Peter Lawrence: Well, she did, didn't she?
Betty Bartholomew: Well, yes. But she likes it there.
Peter Lawrence: Look, I'm, awful busy now. But I'll put an item in tomorrow's column that'll be practically a retraction. Be a swell plug for you, too.
Betty Bartholomew: [dubious] Yeah, let's hear it.
Peter Lawrence: OK.
Peter Lawrence: [addressing his assistant] Mary, get this: Miss Betty Bartholomew of the nightclub Bartholomews, gave up one whole morning last week taking her mother to the poorhouse in her new 12 cylinder car.
Betty Bartholomew: [just before exiting] Ah, that's sweet, Pete. Thanks a lot. Drop up and have a drink sometime, will ya?
But, as a whole, the film is a bit tired.
Viewers are given no hint of a reason to believe that the two leads love each other, except that they are the leads in a romance.
Franchot Tone plays a character ("Peter Lawrence") I've seen him play a few times: arrogant, manipulative, and vindictive, yet for some reason the Carlotta Lee character is supposed to want to spend the rest of her life with him.
The other actors - Healy, Rooney, Jenks, and Weidler in particular - make a valiant effort, but their characters barely qualify as two dimensional, and the plot is contrived.
In short, it will pass the time, but there's nothing besides George that makes this worth seeking out.
