Likely, you never heard of this film before. I know I hadn't. Saw it on Zeus and decided to take a chance on it. I am glad I did. The film stars William Powell, Fay Wray and Kay Francis. Contrary to the nice guy persona he developed later on, Powell plays a real louse. Moreover, he does it with an Italian accent! That's right, an Italian accent! In fact, he does it so well, you would swear he was Italian! Powell plays a Vaudeville performer who steals his partner's act, his girl friend and his money! Like I said, a real louse! Wray is the long suffering girl friend and Kay Francis is the other woman. The movie is well-acted throughout. The quality of the print is good. This is not likely to show up anywhere. If you are a movie buff and want to see something a bit different, I would highly recommend this film. Over time, I have found Zeus the place to go for rare, seldom seen movies. You won't be disappointed.
