...less action, fewer laughs, or more tragedy packed into one movie. It deals with the life of a Kept Woman, a woman who Sacrifices for the Man She Loves, and who in the end loses Everything--Everything. What little comedy relief there is is rendered rather capably by Frank McHugh, but he appears so seldom that he seems completely out of place; and every time Margaret Sullavan looks at him she seems to be saying "Will you please go away. How can I be gloomy with you around here?" So he goes away and leaves Charles Boyer with Miss Sullavan...
Four Mothers (Warner Bros.) momentarily subordinates the maternity marathon of the four luscious Lemp sisters (Rosemary, Priscilla, Lola Lane & Gale Page) to the vicissitudes of their husbands (Eddie Albert, Jeffrey Lynn, Frank McHugh, Dick Foran) and music master father (Claude Rains).

The rest of the proceedings involve the attempt of three arch spooks (Peter Lorre, Boris Karloff, Bela Lugosi) to do away with a young girl (Helen Parrish) about to come into her inheritance on her 21st birthday. Whether or not she will survive to attain her majority in the face of such villainy supplies a reason for allowing Kyser to grapple with grotesque props...
...came in, and filled the chairs on each side of him. Never in his life had he felt so out of place. But in an instant there was a friendly voice in his ear: "I don't believe I've met you. . . . This is Mr. Mayberry, Mr. Walcott, Mr. McHugh. . . ." The Sophomore turned to see who had spoken, and found beside him a little man, thin, sandy-haired, mustached. Kindly-faced and attentive, he spent the rest of the meal trying to make the Sophomore feel at home...
