Avis à la une
Although this movie is slagged in David Quinlan's British SOUND FILMS, it is a very happy little comedy-drama. The set design of the night club and apartments above it look good; Sydney Blythe runs the camera with some nice movement, and it is certainly a pleasure to see Williams, Angell and Binnie Barnes right at the beginnings of their screen careers. Hodges turns out to be wonderful, but I suspect that is because the role was probably originally played by the co-author of the play this is based upon, Miles Malleson.
I also suspect that Mr. Quinlan did not see this movie, or perhaps viewed it as not being influenced by the Russian Academicians and therefore inherently wrong. A lot of early British sound films have been turning up recently and many of them have been a pleasure to watch. That's good enough for me.

- GaffesAfter discovering Max's corpse, Philip is able to drag it out of his room, onto a landing, up one flight of stairs, then into Max's own room and down another small set of stairs, all unassisted. Yet, later the same night, he is shown to be physically incapable of even slightly shifting a panelled wooden screen.

Margot: [sitting down at the table] It's alright. It's only me!
Lucien Borell: Have we been introduced?
Margot: Well, I've introduced myself. I thought you looked the kind of man who might buy a girl a drink.
Lucien Borell: Oh, oh, really? Are you thirsty?
Margot: I'm always thirsty. I was born on the great drought.
Lucien Borell: Oh, really. How very unpleasant. You must have some lemonade. It quenches the thirst.
Margot: Lemonade? What makes you think that's a drink?
Lucien Borell: I have it on the highest, historical authority. I ascertained that Anne of Cleves called for a beaker of lemonade on her death-bed.
Margot: Oh, you mean she knew she was dying and it didn't matter.
