Marion Davies is the poster child for people who prostitute themselves into careers, and this movie unmasks her for the triple threat she really is: She can’t sing. She can’t dance. And she sure as hell can’t act.
The rest of the cast just seems nonplussed that they are stuck in a movie with such a glaring hunk of no talent, and they don’t even bother to try...everyone just seems to be hanging about, praying that their own careers and reputations won’t be damaged by association.
It show more really is agonizingly painful to watch.
Those film buffs with a morbid sense of curiosity who don’t mind watching a colossal train wreck unfold before their very eyes might be willing to give this a view, but most sane movie aficionados will want to avoid this like the plague. show less

A 1930's gangster movie set during the Oklahoma Land Rush. Cagney, looking like a hobo cowboy is the bad boy of the Kincaid family. Cagney. dressed in black and a sneer is the even worse bad boy of the McCord family.
2023 movie #143. 1939. Bogart is a gangster taking over the produce truckers in NYC until 1 guy, with the help of the DA, brings him down. I learned that having Bogart in a movie doesn't necessarily make it good, or even entertaining.
2022 movie #108. 1943. Captain (Massey) and 1st mate (Bogart) pilot a Liberty Ship across the Atlantic dodging Nazi subs. Meant as propaganda on the home front, but it's still an exciting and well made movie. Dedicated to the many merchant seamen who lost their lives in WWII.
