this be a pretty standard warner who do it and one that give up the good about 2/3rds of the way through . what put this stanwyck vehicle a notch or two above average be the fluid camera work employ dieterle isn not afraid to employ some unusual overhead camera angle ( or be busby berkeley hang around the set . ) and track shot . it also obvious that warner wasn not afraid to spend more on their production in 1934 than just a year or two before . the production value show where it count and right down to the orry kelly gown on ms. stanwyck one in particular look like it wipe out half the fox population in depression era california . some of the motivation in the plot be fuzzy represent glenda farrell relationship with her boyfriend ( be it just me or do douglass dunmbrille look like lionel atwill be separate at birth . ) be about as unclear a her reaction to his . errh and that would give away too much . i give this a 10 for production value and a 4 for plot .
