| Kay Francis Soap Opera
Kay Francis, (Dr. Monica Braden) is madly in love with her husband, John Braden, (Warren William) who is a writer and very seldom sees his wife because she is a very successful physician and travels a great deal. Monica finds out the sad fact that she cannot have any children of her own and she decides to adopt a child. Monica has a girlfriend named Mary Hathaway, (Jean Muir) who is very much attracted to Monica's husband John which she finds out about by listening to his conversation on a phone. Monica keeps the secret to herself and the story gets quite interesting after this event. If you like soap operas from 1934, this is a good Kay Francis special with her giving a great performance.

Goofs

When Mary goes riding and is thrown from her horse, the horse that runs off after she falls is a different one than the one she jumped over the wall and fell from. Note the two white lower rear legs on the horse running off after the fall. Also, the saddles are different from when she first got on the horse, to the jump/fall scene, to the horse running away after.
