Oddly, despite the severity of the Depression, such films about pretty rich folks were pretty popular though many today will doubtless find them a bit too droll in spots. It's a classic use of innuendo regarding morals and loose living. The first is permanent coy. It reflects the undertone of true love, not just romance between a couple.

This film can serve as a good study in following the changes in movie technology and methods. It might be as well for you to assist her." Perkins, "That's just where I'm going, and without any suggestions from you."

Slight but Amusing
I happened to channel surf to Turner Classic Movies just as this one was beginning last night, and once I got past the unlikely opening sequence I couldn't possibly turn away from the unlikely rest of it.
Three years later, the glow up: Ms. Cortland-Brown returns from a slutty rebound trip to France with a new mid-Atlantic accent (good-bye Midwest). But not for her depth of presence. . It is at one of the ex-wive's potential conquests that the two are reunited as her ex-husband attempts to woo a new young woman. The second is prideful speechifying, daring proclamations that temporarily air out the collective frustrations of many women, calling out double standards and announcing sexual…
A house full of men, consumed by their need for heat-seeking missile of seduction Norma Shearer?
Marie Dressler is Mrs. Bouccicault - Bouccy (pronounced, "Boo-see") as Kitty and others call her by nickname. My only real regret is that I didn't love the very end. Conservative wife Kitty (Shearer) walks in on other woman, is stoically genial to her face and sobbing behind closed doors. No, let NORMA SHEARER be gay!
You mean to say I have to say that all over again? She talks as if putting on a show; the woman’s got a secret and she’s the only one in the room who knows it. Gilbert Emery is superb as Towney Townley, a carefree wealthy middle-aged bachelor who is smitten with Kitty. You'll just have to see it for yourself--perhaps you'll agree about the ending, perhaps you won't, but I'm pretty sure you will enjoy this clever film.

Film's A Pushover for Shearer's Makeover
Norma Shearer dazzles as she is transformed from a frump, addle-brained house-wife to an alluring potential divorcee.
Preening, giggling, and putting on airs, she's just relentless in her "la-di-da"-ness to the point of being a turn-off. The dialogue is fun, oft-times clever and the performances on cue. Unfortunately, the main love interest, Rod La Rocque, was so stilted.
You won't believe your eyes.
