Summary: By 1937, everyone was tired of films about silent stars who couldn't make the transition to talkies (and would be until Singin' in the Rain), but this Columbia comedy-drama still had its moments in spite of gross inaccuracies. Richard Dix is Western star Tim Bart, a screen hero who is adored by children everywhere. All that changes when sound comes in -- outdoor pictures are risky because of sound problems and Bart's screen test proves that he can't possibly play indoorsy society men. (allrovi.com)

This movie has some stiff competition from SIGNIN IN THE RAIN and SUNSET BLVD. And it doesn't even come close to either one. But it is slightly interesting in that it was made so soon after the transition. However, Dix's character is such a swell egg that the film feels rather lightweight and bland. The earnest boy who worships him doesn't make it any easier to swallow. Still, it goes down easy enough to be watchable, and includes one genuinely terrific scene of a party featuring star doubles.
