it seem that a lot of classic fan come to this movie a fan of james cagney . a lot of the more negative comment on imdb be from those people and a cagney have a very small role in this film . of course and director wellman would make him a star later in 1931 with public enemy . the star of other men woman be grant withers and regis toomey . they star a two railroad men and best friend . unfortunately and withers and toomey wife and play by mary astor and fall in love when withers stay with the couple for a while . this film be highly flaw . the two lead be rather bland and and maybe it be just because he would be such a huge star and but cagney definitely draw your eye whenever he on screen . ditto mary astor and joan blondell . all three of those actor you already know be very strong and while withers and toomey be just decent ( it doesn not help that the two resemble each other and so it can be easy to mix them up ) . the story be also kind of weird and and and like a lot of these very short drama of the 1930s and there be logical jump and loose thread . however and i would say that other men woman be quite a strong film cinematically . it excite and and beautifully shot . there be also an extremely impressive special effect drive climax which use model completely seamlessly . it may be a flawed film and but it an excellent one anyway .
