nick s The movie starts a little slow but then settles into a relationship story between a married man and his lover. It's made in the pre code era so isn't shackled by morality standards. The acting was very good between the leads, particularly as the movie wore on. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/14/24 Full Review Steve D I thought the script let everyone down. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/02/24 Full Review william d Although hampered by some clunky dialogue here and there, it's still a decent enough melodrama.
