I was surprised to see so few reviews of this film so here is another. As with most Paramount films of the early 1930s, everything is top-notch and no sign that they flirted with bankruptcy. The cast is very good with Mary Boland shining above the rest. I am not usually a fan of hers since she so often played shrill and unlikable characters. This time she is great, especially in the way that she wakes up to herself and decides to return to the American Midwest to be a grandmother. Cheers to that! Please notice the remarkable opening scene - that train comes in very fast and stops just right so that Miss Boland has to take only a step or two to board it. Not an easy feat, kudos to the engineer who knew his onions.
