Back in Circulation (First National) should please cinemaddicts who admire portrayals of brash reporters and nail-hard editors whose presses must be fed regardless of human cost. This time the brazen star reporter is a female named Timmy Blake (Joan Blondell). She loves her apparently unconcerned managing editor, Bill Morgan (Pat O'Brien).

Aristocratic but penniless Wendy, it appears, is well aware she is being sold down the river, regards her rich fiancé, Mr. Morgan (Alan Mowbray) as a blight. Curson, a married man himself, very properly pays no attention to Wendy's pleas, delivers the dress on time...
