Comment
A single man (Kenneth MacKenna) is having an affair with a married woman (Rita La Roy) and so marries his secretary (Constance Bennett) to avoid marrying the other woman. His wife goes to Paris when she meets her husbands friend (Basil Rathbone). She turns from dowdy secretary to beautiful woman and starts an affair with her husbands friend. They return to New York where they try and untangle the love quartet. This is a curious film in that it reflects the strange moral view of marriage and divorce in that period. The production is also flat and needs more energy and passion from the performers.
