Banky and Robinson, and all the cast are PERFECT. Robinson's performance is even more enhanced if one compares it with Charles Laughton's over-the-top in the 1940 remake, which at least to me, makes the film unbearable in the scenes he appears- a real pity since Carole Lombard above all the very good cast, is simply great. This film should be on dvd or at least be more frequently shown than it is. I agree completely with Danny's description of the film. Banky and Robinson, and all the cast are PERFECT.

She was married to another actor, but made many movies with Ronald Colman. If her voice was so fine, it's too bad that she didn't make more sound films. There were so many people with accents working in Hollywood in the 30s and 40s and even today. My grandmother loved Vilma Banky. She thought she was the most beautiful actress of her time.
