Other late-blooming suspicions were cast on the wreck of the Torbatross. Last week David P. Harrison, one of Harvey's passengers on that trip, reported: "I remember we sailed around the wreck twice. Harvey said he was trying to read the markings on the buoy." Said Jack Stone, former commodore of the Capital Yacht Club, home berth of the Torbatross: "Everybody who has sailed those waters knows about the Texas and just stays away from her. The wreck is way off course. You have to work at it to find her." Yet a federal court awarded Harvey...
...Harvey, it turned out, had been married six times, and his surviving ex-wives agreed that he was a vain, difficult husband, and a man whose love quickly cooled.

She rejects his propositions in horror, but in the ironic conclusion she comes tenderly round to his way of thinking, only to discover in horror and heartbreak that he has come round to hers...
These impressions are intensified in the performances. Actress Page, an artist of unusual richness and motility, soon melts any sense of frigidity in the heroine with her glowing warmth and charm. And Actor Harvey, a player with the frigid fascination of a lizard, is clumsily miscast as the hotblooded hero. Instantly the spectator senses that this reptilian type could never possibly pair off with the warmhearted heroine. Instantly the love affair loses its credibility and the picture its suspense. Nevertheless, the film conspicuously possesses Playwright Williams' characteristic virtue: a pathetic-romantic atmosphere that lingers from scene to scene like...
