Directed by the one and only C.B. DeMille, this one was prior to the film code being enforced, so we are allowed to view mature themes. When Angela gets sick of her husband Bob staying out all night, she sets a trap to teach him a lesson. Reginal Denny and Kay Johnson star in this early talkie from MGM. Ann Sothern and Ann Dvorak are listed as extras on imdb. Sound and picture are both pretty ok. Parts of the film go on way too long, such as when Angela tries to trap the guys as they tell their lies about staying out all night. and again later, when two un-married people pretend to be getting ready for bed. it really drags on. both those scenes should have been edited shorter. One fun thing is when she and her maid sing to each other, while discussing the men in their lives. That's one talented maid!! And a really cute song and dance number when Lillian Roth (plays the other woman...) and Eddie Prinz do a rehearsal of "Low Down". When husband and wife attend a costume ball in a zeppelin, Angela tests her husband by dressing up as a satanic character during the ball. An ironic moment, when they sing "We're Going Somewhere", and the very next song is "Where do We Go From Here?". Shows on Turner Classic. Good for an early talkie, and certainly a little piece of history from DeMille. and even some special effects during the dance numbers in the dirigible. but didn't need to be 116 minutes long.
