Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaFilm debut of James Ellison.
- GoofsNear the start of the film there are brief glimpses of various store departments. In the plumbing department, Winnie Lightner is in the background perched on a sink. That makes no sense, as it is only later on in the story that her character is reassigned from hardware to plumbing (One publicity still for the film is a close-up of Winnie on the sink, but there is no such scene in the movie. Probably a sequence involving Winnie in the plumbing department was deleted, but then Warners decided to use that opening shot figuring nobody would notice Winnie in the background).
- Quotes
Georgine Hicks: [Wind blows away a pair of panties hang drying in the window] Oh! Oh! Oh-oh-oh!
Buster 'Bus' Green Dennis: What's the matter?
Georgine Hicks: Oh, there goes my last panties!
Buster 'Bus' Green Dennis: Well, now what are you gonna do?
Georgine Hicks: Keep off of step ladders.

Marginally less excruciating than a tooth extraction
Warner Brothers should have been embarrassed to release this. The story is both absurd and boring, the characters are as unbelievable as they are annoying and the direction is of the: just read your lines in turn and avoid any interaction with your fellow actors. As for the acting, Loretta Young is the only person who is actually acting giving this movie the impression that her scenes are taken from a different (professional) film which have been spliced into this dreadful piffle.
Worst of all is Winnie Lightner. I don't like to say anything bad about people, she might have been a lovey person but as an actress she is beyond terrible. She's so extraordinary awful that she almost makes this film unwatchable. Words cannot describe just how bad she is!
One slightly interesting line is said by Miss Young which portends her future fling with 'the king of Hollywood' - commenting on her beau's kissing technique she says: 'They can do better in movies - come on Gable, get hot.' There's absolutely nothing else of interest in this.
Maybe the reason this was made was simply to provide evidence to to those people now who believe that films of the 1930s were dreadful?
