...flirting with another man, finds the other man more attractive than the husband, runs away with him. And it represents Tallulah Bankhead's third time at bat this season (previous plays: Dark Victory, Rain). While Something Gay affords Miss Bankhead ample opportunity to cuss and cuddle, its dialog is so low-pressure, its scheme so trivial that critics sorrowfully had to credit her with another strikeout. Actress Bankhead is evidently having as much difficulty finding a proper vehicle for her lush talents as her Congressional father and uncle are having trying to grope their legislative...
Liliom (Erich Pommer). This adaptation of Ferenc Molnar's famed play, with French dialog and English subtitles, is notable for two reasons. Its director was Fritz Lang (M, Metropolis).

Folies Bergere was made twice, once in English, once in French. The French version of each scene was made immediately after the English one, on the same set. Maurice Chevalier is the only performer who appears in both versions. The French one, in which the leading lady is Princess Paley, includes a tableau of nude models, jokes which would alarm the Legion of Decency...
...resources of wit, charm, and coolheadedness, Miss Collier leaves her house in her electric motor car, competently brings the niggling little mystery to its proper conclusion. A minor mystery to cinemagoers is the nature of the locale of a rough-&-tumble which winds up the picture. Unexplained by any dialog, it resembles a ruined cathedral, is full of rickety scaffolding upon which the male actors fight vigorously...
