- Quotes
Miss Adele 'Dell' Hamilton: It's so boring to be an extremist.
Mr. David 'Dave' Norton: Think so? What are you?
Miss Adele 'Dell' Hamilton: I? Oh, a pleasure loving child from the gilded generation. I love dancing, tennis, music, travel, and what have you.
Mr. David 'Dave' Norton: It depends on what extreme you like, I suppose, whether or not you find it boring.
Miss Adele 'Dell' Hamilton: I see, in other words, we're both extremist.
Mr. David 'Dave' Norton: Well, if you like the word.
Miss Adele 'Dell' Hamilton: May I have the ketchup?
Mr. David 'Dave' Norton: Well, at least we have one thing in common.
Miss Adele 'Dell' Hamilton: Ketchup?
Mr. David 'Dave' Norton: Let's see, what the doozies do they say now? Oh, yeah. A book of verse beneath the bough. A jug of wine. A loaf of bread.
Miss Adele 'Dell' Hamilton: A plate of beans. And thou.
Mr. David 'Dave' Norton: And thou.
Miss Adele 'Dell' Hamilton: And thou beside me singing in the wilderness.
Constance Bennett's Natural Acting is in full Command and the Supporting Cast Lead by Neil Hamilton are OK. The Film is Professionally Handled and the Social Concerns of the Time are Given Appropriate Due.
But, there isn't anything Outstanding here and it's kind of Pedestrian and the Ending is "Out to Lunch" at a Diner, Eating Beans. However, Fans of Bennett and Early Talking Cinema might Want to Check this one out. Just Don't Expect any Great Shakes. Pass the Ketchup.
