Much of their work consists of regular deck-scrubbing, water-testing, leaf-skimming, and extracting dead rats and bobby pins from pools. In Beverly Hills, whose 700-odd pools occupy most of their time, the job is far from routine. After police had searched two days for Actor Joseph Cotten's car, reported stolen, Cotten found it and called Ilsley's men to retrieve it, from his pool.

Although Loretta Young, in the title role, loses a split decision to a tough Swedish accent, she still manages to turn in a competent job. Joseph Cotten as the Hollywood style congressman no paunch and Charles Bickford as a highly fictional butler, contribute to the general rewarding effect. Honors for the evening, however, must go to Ethel Barrymore who, in the role of the political matriarch, gives the impression that she could clean up Boston polities or reform the Republican party without breaking into much of a sweat...
