MGM hoping old-timers like Lionel Barrymore, Lewis Stone and many more could elevate the young team of Keefe Brasselle & Sally Forrest. They couldn't. Even looking tired and dying, the seniors had so much more screen personality than the two dry youngsters. Fairly weak writing too, but it was okay when the aging guard of Hollywood were doing their thing, but fell flat when the leads tried to do the same. A money loser for MGM, and rightfully so.
