Not Much To Cheer About
31 March 2020
Jack McNaughton marries widow Elsie Randolph, looking for some kindly creature comforts. He's vastly disappointed by her self-serving behavior in this rather lugubrious comedy.

Miss Randolph seems have had a knack of looking older than her years when she wasn't dancing up a sexy storm with Jack Buchanan. She plays a pretty nasty piece of work in this comedy, putting on airs of grim morality, immediately punctured by all who know her. It's clear that McNaughton realizes pretty quick what he's in for, but sticks loyally by her... until opportunity presents itself. It's also a chance to see Marie Ault in her final screen role as Miss Randolph's dipsomaniacal mother. She had died three months before the movie's release at the age of 80.
