...manages to give a dismal view of what "life in the penthouses" can sink to. Everyone hates everyone else; no one, except the everpresent proletarian butler, ever says anything pleasant to anyone else; and more highballs are downed per foot of film than in any movie turned out since Schenley's stopped producing propaganda flickers. Miss Dunne's ultimately successful attempt to get rid of her "unfinished business," which in this case is her still unrequited love for her city-slicker boyfriend, constitutes what might be called the remainder of the plot...

Although it had no intention of yielding its 50-year-old name, a valuable property, the firm agreed gradually to reduce the size of the Old Quaker's picture, to kill him off completely at the first opportunity. To Friends, however, the Old Quaker still looks pretty big and bibulous. Friend Malcolm Read Lovell, authorized by a Manhattan Quaker meeting to study the problem, suggested a boycott-by others.
