Frank McHugh is the star. He is a soft-spoken employee of a big company. As the movie starts, we see him on a very realistic looking subway to work.
Jane Wyman works with him. Wyman looks different from her usual. Her hair is dark, as it was in her later movies. But the face seems a little different. As always, she is appealing. Her mother is played in hilarious fashion by Cora Witherspoon.
The lovely Diana Lewis is an heiress McHugh is pining for. She looks gorgeous and plays this aloof but kind character to perfection.
The title refers to an auction. What happens at the auction results in the appearance of standard comical bad guys. One of them is burly Tom Kennedy, who played the same sort of role over and over -- always amusingly -- at Warner Brothers in the 1930s and forties.
