The scenarists have retained only the basic framework of the play…modernized by bringing the action forward to 1939.Thus the picture is permitted to throw some sharp barbs in the direction of war-profiteering industrialists, the while Tom Collier, a reformed playboy, struggles to keep his integrity as the publisher of an honest, liberal magazine carrying on a brave and unprofitable crusade against social injustices.

… Dennis Morgan is quite good as the wastrel who turns his wealth to noble purpose; Ann Sheridan and Alexis Smith are equally fetching and competent as the photographer and wife, respectively, and Reginald Gardiner gives another of his easy-going, polished performances as the editor of Bantam Magazine.

The current version gets in a champagne frenzy about the activities of the hero on a wartime magazine, and makes much extraneous capital out of society photography… Remnants of Mr. Barry's original dialogue and situations spike oddly from the general caramel sauce.

Dennis Morgan is worried and sip-cere as the gentleman who marries the wrong .woman; Reginald Gardiner, departing smoothly from type, makes the magazine publisher a vivid fellow; Jack" Carson's butler (remember William Gargan in the original character?)

teeters between smiles and tears; Alexis Smith, as the wife, is competent; Ann Sheridan as the goor but honest girl, is hard to believe; Jane Wyman trots briskly in and out of a film that is an interesting example of the Hollywood adage: Never leave well, or fairly well, alone.
