A well-paced comedy starring J. Farrell MacDonald as a policeman who has an aversion to arresting people. We are already starting to see some expressionist influence here from Murnau, with several shots making good use of shadows. There are also hints of the poetic realism that characterizes much of Ford's later work. And on top of all that, MacDonald is simply a crack-up.
