this be a so so story and with the typical formula of boy meet girl and boy loses girl and boy get girl back again and in combination with a story about speedboat design and racing . there isn not much here to interest today movie viewer . while there be some movie of the early 1930s which continue to delight u ( e. g. dinner at eight ) and this movie isn not one of them . lead star william haines be at the end of his film career . in his biography of haines and wisecracker and author william j. mann allege that haines career be on the decline partly due to his age out of the role he have become typecast in and and also to become pudgy . yet and haines appear in a swimsuit in this film and look fit and trim . the great depression make film studio reluctant to make long term contract with actor and and when they do and they substantially reduce the salary pay . story of haines enmity with mgm brass and and the effect of his personal life and may be apocryphal . the net net be that haines wasn not make money for mgm any long and and so he be out . i wouldn not recommend this film unless you be a real die hard haines fan .
