a film that be so much a 30 warner film in an era when each studio have a particular look and style to their output and unlike today where simply get audience be the object . curitz be one of the quintessential warner house director work with tight economy and great efficiency whilst create quality and work method that be very much the requirement of a director at warner and a studio that be one of the big five major in this era produce quality film for their large chain of theatre . even though we have a setting of the upper class on long island there be the generic warner style embed here with a narrative that could have be tear from the headline . another example be the when the photographer comment on the girl legs early in the film and she comment that theyre not the trophy give the film a more working man and down to earth feel and for these be the audience that warner be target in the great depression . ( ironically columbia and universal be the two minor under these five major until the 50 when their involvement in television change their fortune they would have make something like this very cheaply and without the polish and great talent ) curtiz have create from an excellent script a film that move along at a rapid pace whilst keep the viewer with great camera angle and swift editing . thank heaven there be no soppy love interest sub plot so the fun can just keep roll along .
