interesting for social historians, but the plot is slow, 26 February 2002
5/10
Author: Claude Cat from United States

This movie is not at all well made: scenes fade in and out far too slowly, the camerawork is pedestrian in the extreme, and some of the plot twists are never satisfactorily dealt with. But the storyline still manages to engage, in spite of its slow pace, and those interested in the culture of the 30's will enjoy seeing what a "woman's weepie" of the time was (not to mention the clothes). The plot also has a few surprises: protagonist Millie admirably insists on working for her independence, but gold-diggers Lilyan Tashman and Joan Blondell are also portrayed as likeable. A bonus: Frank McHugh, in a bit role, does a fine job singing a little number. But overall the film is not for those with low reserves of patience.
