As Carol, Josephine Hutchinson is delightful, save for a certain thrilled ecstasy introduced in irrelevant scenes. The doctor is done by Pat O'Brien, with a stupid tenderness that is positively intelligent, but Ross Alexander as Eric is quite uncalled-for; since his last role he has managed to put still another hot potato in his mouth...
