The film was considered to be lost for nearly forty years before reappearing.[1]

This marked the film debut of Anderson (better known for her next role, housekeeper Mrs. Danvers in the 1940 Rebecca).

Cast

  • George Bancroft as Bill Bailey
  • Frances Dee as Elaine Talbart
  • Chick Chandler as Drury Darling
  • Judith Anderson as Ruby Darling
  • Blossom Seeley as Singer
  • Etienne Girardot as Bail Bond Clerk
  • George Regas as Charley

Dee, normally cast in wholesome roles, described Talbert in the 2002 Turner Classic Movies documentary Complicated Women as {{nowrap|"... a}} rather weird character, to say the least. She was a kleptomaniac, a nymphomaniac, and anything in between."[2]

Critical reception

New York Times critic Mordaunt Hall was unimpressed, writing, "This whimsical little tale of thievery, thuggery and attempted slaughter was mistaken for entertainment by Darryl Zanuck".[3] He appreciated the skills of many of the actors, but thought the plot lacked logic and characterized the film overall as "flat stuff".[3]
