InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Antonius Block What a delightful little bit of pre-Code confectionery this is. Alice White is simply adorable, there are lots of playful moments, and Myrna Loy schemes in a supporting role. White plays the wild child of a rich lawyer, partying late and having romances with a lot of different men. When she's on the verge of marrying one of them on the spur of the moment, he has one of his employees (Paul Page) get her out of there. The two of them hit it off, but face challenges in not only her playgirl past, but also in a brother/sister duo (Douglas Gilmore and Myrna Loy) plotting to have Gilmore marry her for her money.The innuendo in this film is pretty innocent, but as in other pre-Code films, I like the acknowledgement of women's sexuality. That has an honesty about that, even if it was also meant to sell tickets. The plot is simple and the run-time is a brisk 56 minutes, but to me that was a good thing. The flapper scenes - being hauled in by the police after a late night party, with playful defiance of authority in the dialogue - were entertaining. The party scenes - the 'Cinderella dance', and then later dancing the night away to forget heartache - were as well. The clothing, hats, and cars are all beautiful. It's White's movie, but the scene where Loy hatches a scheme to get Page up into her room and into a compromising position is a good one.In a scene that may define whether you'll like or dislike this movie, White gets a spanking from Page when he discovers she'd made a bet that she could get him to go home with her before midnight, and that she has a history of doing that kind of thing. I found it an amusing little window into the period as the tone was light, then literally laughed out loud at the intertitle which followed, which said "A good old fashioned spanking was the turning point in the life of an ultra-modern girl." However, if that sort of thing is likely to bother you, I'd recommend skipping this film. On the other hand, if you like Alice White, or pre-Code silliness in general, you'll probably like it enough to warrant spending an hour.

Irene Hervey This is a small film and isn't really about much more than a bunch of spoiled rich kids finding out that there is more to life than just being minor league juvenile delinquents. But there are a number of things that make this charming and fun and it's under an hour long so there's not much to lose. First of all, as many have said, Alice White is such a quintessential flapper that it's no wonder she didn't last beyond the Clara Bow years. Her New Joisey oops Jersey accent is a hoot and different from that of the great prima donna actresses of the era. There is a sequence early in the film where she bats her eyes at Paul Page while riding in a car and she more than bats them. Her eyes are so enormous and dominant that they practically do cartwheels flirting with him. In short, as a male, I find her irresistibly cute and delightful and her firm, clear delivery of lines (essential in early talkies for theaters with not so great sound systems) stands out with the sharpness of a female Eddie Cantor. Watch also for the barely seen singing group at the big party where microphones are not yet de rigeur and the ensemble sings through megaphones! The flapper clothes are all wonderful and so are the beautiful cars so if you like period fun this is a delight. Myrna Loy is still in her bad girl period here and makes a nasty femme fatale. Paul Page is a Frederic March clone as a leading man and shows naturalness and real talent. Too bad his career simply faded away after 1934. There's nothing super spectacular here but either you find Alice White doing her naughty flirting is as they used to say "the bee's knees" or you don't. It's easy to underestimate the way she uses her eyes, her body language and her desire to get the most out of every scrap of dialogue she gets. I'm so sorry she had such a fall from grace and a difficult later life but she has become a cult figure for movie buffs who love the early talkies.

MartinHafer Alice White plays a rich and shallow playgirl who is constantly getting in trouble because she's bored and hangs around with equally shallow friends. The film begins with the lot of them going to court over some disorderly conduct charges when she meets an ambitious young lawyer (Paul Page) who works for her father's firm. He's horrified at her behavior and is even more horrified when she appears ready to marry some young guy she hardly knows. So, wanting to do right by his boss, he abducts her and takes her to daddy. Although you'd think she'd hate Page for doing this, in the tradition of "Taming of the Shrew" she is smitten. The problem is that he isn't exactly excited by the idea of marrying this pretty and rich lady because she is such a ditsy mess. Eventually, when it looks as if she's winning him over, an evil suitor and his sister do everything they can to break up this budding romance.This is an enjoyable but easily forgettable film from Warner Brothers with decent but overdone acting. The story is amazingly simple and predictable, but despite all this, it's a decent film--mostly because it is so short and breezy that it's over before becoming tiresome. Not exactly a glowing review, but that's really about all I can say about this silly trifle of a film.By the way, Myrna Loy appears in a rather substantial part in one of her films before she became a star.

movingpicturegal In this entertaining film, Alice White plays cute, perky, flirty, well-to-do blonde Kay - throwing a party in honor of her annual expulsion from finishing school, she dances, plays the ukulele, bats her eyelashes, and gets thrown in the paddy wagon along with her circle of wild chums. And that's just the start of this story! While at court she meets handsome young lawyer Alan Ward (Paul Page), who by coincidence works for her daddy's law firm. She falls for him big-time, then pursues him like crazy - but no go from his side, though he seemed to like her from the get-go, I guess she's too much of a flirt for our serious young law man. But as one friend says of her "When Kay Elliott starts after a man - she never misses!". So - seducing him after she tries to snag him via the "Cinderella Dance" (girls throw in one shoe on the dance floor, guys pile on top of each other in attempt to find the shoe of their fave gal and get her for "dancing and dinner" later) it seems to be working. But man crazy Kay is currently engaged, by her own count, to "six or seven men"; Alan, tired of her flirtations, puts her over his knee and gives her a spanking (yeah, you read that right). She decides to change her ways and comes to work as his secretary. Okey-dokey. Meanwhile, Two chums, a brother and sister duo (the sister, quite well played by Myrna Loy), make plans to break up Kay and Alan for their own greed - to get Kay (and her $5,000,000) for the brother.This is a lively romp of a film mostly good because of Alice White, who gives an engaging, fun-to-watch performance. She is more cute, with her spit curls, big eyes, and pouty mouth, than a good actress but her acting does run circles around that of her co-star, Paul Page, NOT much of an actor, I must say. I am a fan of Myrna Loy, but this film is *completely* stolen by Alice White. Quite enjoyable, light fun.
