This short film dating from 1930 is still relevant today. The plot of an employee hoping to get a promotion still rings true. The acting is superb, especially by Sylvia Sidney in one of her first film roles. Sidney shows a real assertiveness here as a woman that is unusual for the time as she fights for her husband's quest to move up in the company. Lynne Overman and Berton Churchill are the other two players and they offer good support. This short is a real treat.
