Review of A Successful Calamity

I am not buying this tale of George Arliss at 64 being married to a stunning Mary Astor. Poor Ms. Astor has to be kissed by him in the movie. The script offers some drama which connects in The Great Depression but then they try to tie a bow around the story at the end to bring it together hastily. You can hear the producers saying let's make a quick happy ending here. Pretty boring and predictable affair overall. There are men in their 60's who may end up as lucky as Arliss' character but I didn't buy anything about this story.
