i usually enjoy loretta young early movie represent her act back then be light and breezy and and she sure know how to wear clothes . but this one be just a loser from the word go except for a funny support turn by glenda farrell . young be a hatcheck girl who talk her writer husband ( paul lukas ) into become a championship bridge player . it not the most cinematic of game and and the long and talky middle part in which their marriage fall apart just about kill the film . there one interesting bit though . a lukas and ferdinand gottschalk start their climactic game and a series of quick shot show airplane and train and football game and even a diver in mid air and freezing in anticipation of the event . it the early use of a freeze frame i have see in an american film . wish the rest of it be that inventive and funny .
