Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaEarly in the picture, Ellen, portrayed by Loretta Young, is discussing a blind date with Gracie, portrayed by Patsy Kelly. Ellen says she hopes the guy can dance. Gracie replies that the last one was a corporal that "was as handsome as Gable, and Gable ain't bad!" Ellen replies, "Oh I'll say not!" This discussion is ironic because when filming Call of the Wild (1935) the year before this film was released, Young had an affair with Clark Gable, leading to the birth of their daughter, Judy Lewis. Audiences at the time didn't realize the irony since this secret affair wasn't made public until years later.
- GoofsJane Darwell is billed as "Mrs. Meecham" but is called "Mrs. Frisby" twice.
- Quotes
Ellen Neal: I'm talking about love Dick. You're talking about marriage. I couldn't marry you because... it would just be a mistake. That's all.
- ConnectionsAlternate-language version of Common Clay (1930)
Featured review
The Great Loretta Young
I caught this film for the very first time,as I can remember,on Fox Movie Channel.The lead actor was listed as Tyronne Power instead of Robert Taylor.I don't know whether the fault lies with TV Guide or the cable channel.Maybe both.
I enjoyed watching a young Loretta Young,one of my favorites.The storyline deals with a maid who falls in love,marries and has a baby for her employers son.Basil Rathbone,another one of my favs,plays the wicked butler who cooks up a devilish plot to have her arrested and and discredited in the eyes of her employers and fired.
This old black and white charm took me way back to my childhood days watching Ms Young's television show with similar stories.Released way back in the 1930's,it is a jewel of a picture.
Can you believe TV Guide even had it listed as a comedy?
