...romantic and aestheic elements so healthily mixed in an atmosphere so familiarly strange that its reception was easily predictable. With such its attraction, the insinuating suggestion that its peculiar pictorial display, which so readily drew workers, may have helped to swell the tide of favor, can but skirt the vulgar...

As Now We're in the Air at one point descended to extraordinarily vulgar farce, so Wife Savers allows its plot to depend upon a somewhat ribald interpretation of a note, written by the heroine, in which she informs the hero that he will have to marry her because she is in trouble. Wallace Beery also confesses in a subtitle that...
