- QuizThe perfume Toni receives is a bottle of vintage 1928 "Les Bourgeons" from Ybry - a real French luxury perfume and fashion house. This perfume came in a six-sided Baccarat crystal bottle with a matching fitted green box. With the ad for the perfume seen earlier in the Vogue magazine Toni was reading, this could be considered an early example of blatant product placement - and for a very expensive item, out of reach for the vast majority of movie goers during the Depression.

Recensione in evidenza
This is not "dull, trite and talky" as noted at the time by Variety, but a typically engaging 1932 Warners drama. The murder of a wealthy man in his country home is big news, especially since his wife seems to have quarreled with him that night about her boy friend. Two camps of reporters descend on the small town; the yellow journalists and the more responsible press. Joan Blondell is one of the bad crew, and is Kenneth Thomson's girlfriend, at least until the small town girl takes a shine to him. There are some nicely done scenes, particularly Blondell's cynically telling her rival what to expect from Thomson. She really belts it out in her inimitable style. Nearly as good is where Thomson himself tells the new girl what to expect; that he's an alcoholic and a manic depressive. It's good because he's pretty much telling the truth at the same time he's handing her a line. Tom Brown doesn't leave much of an impression as the local cub reporter, and the story cheats a bit on the solution of the murder. But the reporters' milieu, the good character-player line-up, and the general energy and pace of the production certainly make this worth seeing.
