carole lombard star in this transition period film . this film be a typical example of a very early talkie ( first practical sound film be the jazz singer and 1927 ) . overall and the acting in this film tend to be extremely broad and very melodramatic . the viewer may easily note that the actor be still act for a silent film and and this combine with the overly pronounce and overly earnest dialog ( it seem most likely a diction elocution drama coach be employ extensively to teach the silent actor to speak line ) and create some rather comical scene which be not at all intend to be comical . carole lombard later great act ability be all but unrecognizable underneath all the broad gesture and melodrama and and eager earnestness . mainly interest a an historical curiosity of the period and and for it completely unintended comedy camp value .
