Reception
In their December, 1935 edition, Modern Screen gave the film a one-star review saying “the results are not so good”. Although not mentioning the star, Alice Faye, the reviewer commented on some of the other cast members, saying Ray Walker “does a good job”, Frank Mitchell and Jack Durant “do some of their noisy cutting up”, Luis Alberni provides “the real laughs” and Bebe Daniels’ “deft impersonation (of a movie star who has seen better days) should cause many a lady about town to wince.” [1]
