Upon breaking his engagement and getting thrown out of his boardinghouse for nonpayment of rent, railroad engineer Bill (Grant Withers) moves in with his best friend, Jack (Regis Toomey), and his wife, Lily (Mary Astor). The three live contentedly for some time, until Bill realizes he has fallen in love with Lily -- and she with him. Unwilling to hurt Jack, Bill moves out, but Jack grows suspicious and confronts him. A fight breaks out with tragic results, compounded by a raging river flood.

Steve D The script isn't worthy of Astor. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 05/03/23 Full Review Audience Member a good pre code 1931 forbidden Hollywood early talkie.the acting was good with Mary Aster,James Cagney,Joan Blondel,Regis Toomey and Grant Withers Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Barely watchable ROMCOM Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member Love triangle plot starts out strong, then dissolves into melodramatics; fun supporting work from Cagney and Blondell. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member good pre-code early talkie from wellman Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member 2.5: Yet another pre-production code picture, but this one is a serious exploration of a friend stealing another man's wife (i.e. it explores infidelity). Just as was the case with Three on a Match, it is really a quite sophisticated film given the age in which it was made. It is also a rather serious-minded endeavor. Worth seeing and not just for historical reasons, but also because it is a quality film, if a bit melodramatic. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Read all reviews
