An alcoholic playboy millionaire marries the woman secretly loved by his poor but hard-working best friend, who in turn is pursued by the husband's nymphomaniac sister.
It's pulp for sure, but meticulously made and played, a classic of its genre.
On second view: splendid over-the-top melodrama.
Halliwell**: "The sheerest Hollywood moonshine: high-flying melodramatic hokum which moves fast enough to be very entertaining."
Maltin***: "Florid melodrama...Irresistible kitsch."
