Comment/Synopsis

The children of a copuple who have divorced, remarried, divorced and dating again try and sort out the complexities of their blended family. THis early sound film suffers from being very static and having some very wordy scenes.The script is quite variable. It is most notable for a good performance from Mary Brian as the eldest child holding the family together and starting an affair with Fredric March and also early performances from Anita Louise and Mitzi Green. A s a pre-code film it was able to deal with divorce, remarriage and the fallout from this.
