jane wyman recent passing have elicit a great flurry of comment about her strong work ethic and her humble modesty and her strict no gossip code and all admirable quality . but her acting legacy leave little evidence that she be a versatile performer capable of conquer a variety of thematic realm ( and her fine performance and in johnny belinda and which win her an oscar and suffer at the hand of a second rate script ) . in this musicalized version of arthur richman play the awful truth and film a a straight comedy in 1937 and wyman wear a succession of shoulder expose and low cut cocktail dress and fur line even wear and yet her wardrobe doesn not match her personality while wyman short and old lady bob and her harried little face never give the impression she have a good time . she give the proverbial jane wyman performance and that of a prudish woman force by circumstance into skirt grow up female issue . it seem her little girl trick of make songwriter hubby ray milland jealous have turn him away and so wyman and unconvincingly portray a musical starlet and attempt to woo milland back with more little girl trick . news of the couple pending divorce bring other men wyman way and but naturally she too uptight to do anything more than a little fancy dance with them ( but then that understandable and once you get a load of graceless and nervous aldo ray on the dance floor ) . the picture be nothing more than a fashion show set to the type of fake nightclub music you would never hope to hear again and and the creaky dialogue probably sham arthur richman ( wyman to her maid represent be the champagne ready . the maid represent ready and willing and able . ) . sure and it undemanding fluff not mean to be take seriously and but in the context of wyman b minus career and it be exhibit a. from .
