Even though its an old film, the theme never ages. Young and handsome David Manners (just before his co-starring role in DRACULA!) plays a gentleman with an eye for someone else! Manners is supposed to marry pretty Loretta Young --that is until nightclub singer and dancer Myrna Loy steps into the scene. This was a terrific showcase for all three talents and they do a good job in keeping the dramatics flowing. This was one of the many vamp and/or dragon lady roles Loy played (also in silents) until he breakthrough role as Nora in THE THIN MAN series and its interesting to catch her more steamy side! Another fun note is to see the close resemblance between Young and her sister Sally Blane who were both cranking out films at this time, so you don't really know if you're watching Loretta or Sally as they were almost like twins, and both fine actresses. Recommended for all of us late show addicts!
