A real dog!

This film is on YouTube, but I wouldn't bother. The plot is so ridiculous and absolutely laugh out loud psychotic. This woman played by Loretta Young should have been in an institution. Yet in the end of course her two fractured selves come together. This is the kind of film that must have ended Youngs career in movies, aside from middle age. That is the single good thing I can say about this waste of time, Young still looks great at nearly 40.

DorianGray is right. This movie is awful and never should have been made. I guess Fox was trying make a buck by putting Young and Cotton together again after the success of the Farmer's Daughter.

The color print on TCM today is very strange. It is cropped somehow. The art direction is bad, the lighting is bad, the sound is strange in musical numbers. Stay away.
