Sensational and daring in its story, the picture moves with fast and uninterrupted action, combin- ing wit and humour with an ex-; tremely novel ending.

Mae West carries her role super- bly as a one-time "honky-tonk" dancer who has broken into New York society, and is ably supported by a strong cast which includes Gertrude Michael, Kent Taylor and Cary Grant. Wesley Euggles direct- led the picture.
