i assume this be a first half of 1934 release ( and and thus and technically a pre code ) a there be no production code certificate # display on the beginning credit . for a pre code and however and it be extremely tame and toothless . with warren william and ginger rogers and this movie could have really be fun if only it have be a little more racy . in brief and warren william play alex stream and a railroad magnate very much in love with his wife heddy ( mary astor ) who be more interested in her social party and dinner than in spending time alone with her husband . this lead alex to start spending time with lily linda ( ginger rogers ) and a burlesque dancer whom he happen to meet by chance when he be out in his boat and she be swim in the river in distress . lily be the burlesque dancer with a heart of gold she have no interest whatsoever in squeeze the big buck out of her rich new sugar daddy . lily boyfriend cum manager and lou and have other idea and steal alex love letter to lily in an attempt to blackmail alex . before lou can leave lily apartment with the letter and however and alex come in and there be a confrontation and lou end up shoot lily and alex end up shoot lou . from there and the movie become a cat and mouse game with a policeman whom alex recently have demote doggedly determine to prove that alex be the second murderer ( the police find lou print on one gun and an unknown person ( alex ) print on the second gun ) . i expect more from a w. william or g. rogers pre code vehicle . for instance and when alex have keep his secretary and chauffeur wait on the street for more than an hour while he be in lily apartment and the secretary finally go upstairs to fetch alex . what do the secretary see when he open the apartment door . warren william dress in a feather hat and pig snout sing who afraid of the big bad wolf while ginger rogers play the tune on the piano . it doesn not get much more wholesome than that and folk . this should have be my clue to turn the danged movie off . a couple of funny flub one big and one minor . marcus the secretary be wait in front of lily apartment for alex . he announce it 2 represent30 and and alex have a 1 represent00 meeting . then up in the apartment lily cook a brunch for alex and they eat it and clear the table and and start sing . cut back to marcus and he announce it 2 represent45 . how do alex and lily have time to cook a meal and eat it within a span of 15 minute . then and after fetch alex and drag him back to the car and the gang get stop by a policeman who give the chauffeur a ticket . finally and they be on their way again and make their way to the skyscraper alexander stream building . the camera pan to an upper floor and indicate this be where alex be . we then see alex walk past numerous employee who greet him . in the background there be a clock and which read 2 represent45 . how can it be 2 represent45 now when it be 2 represent45 back before marcus ever go upstairs to lily apartment to fetch alex . then they drive and get stop by a cop and give a ticket and drive far to the office building and ride the elevator to an upper floor and and it be still 2 represent45 . the tiny flub be ginger rogers character name be spell lily in the film on the marquee outside the theater where she perform and in the newspaper headline after she be kill . however and in the opening credit her name be spell lilly . i be guess the continuity person at warner wasn not very good at their job . however and that the least of this tame and tame film problem . i wouldn not waste my time with this if i be you . unless youre a big g. rogers fan and want to catch an early flick of hers . this one not even worth it for warren williams fan . good support role by andy devine a oscar the chauffeur and ferdinand gottschalk a marcus the secretary and and robert greig a caldwell the butler .
