George Brent, as Lieutenant Stevens, does a convincing job in his usual smooth manner. Margaret Lindsay, playing the part of the show girl, Lou Winters, supplies the love interest. The two have a strong affection for one another. When a Broadway playboy is discovered murdered the morning after a quarrel in his apartment, the police investigation reveals that she was the cause of the said quarrel. Suspicion falls on both her and her brother...
...shows her presents to a friend; you will see what I mean when you hear her say, "It's real jade ... he said," in a tone of trusting naivete which touches the heights.

There is some singing by Irene Dunne which clearly shows how much in love Clive Brook is when he calls it beautiful. But there is nothing new, nothing startling, nothing even mildly lascivious, to disturb the calmness and serenity of this picture of the rehabilitation of a man and a woman on the point of suicide because of marital infelicity...
