Patzer
Chester Morris's character receivers orders to the submarine service out of the blue as he beginning what he thinks is shore leave. The submarine service is for volunteers only. No one gets surprise orders to report for assignment to submarines.

Zitate
Jack Dorgan: [Red has made fun of his furniture selection for his new house] Hey, this stuff isn't kinda'... "flossy," is it?
Furniture Salesman: I wouldn't say so. I think you display excellent taste, Mr. Dorgan.
Red Anderson: I'm sorry. Forget all about it. Why don't you order some lace curtains and pink bedspreads to go with all this junk?
Jack Dorgan: Ah, shut up, ya' crepehanger!

Apparently submarines are the devil's playground...

Jack Dorgan (Richard Dix), the roughest-toughest diver in the navy, dreams of settling down and buying his own house. He eventually marries dance hall girl Carmen (Dolores Del Rio), but when Jack goes off on an assignment, Carmen stars an affair with Jack's best friend Robert Mason (Chester Morris), who is unaware that Carmen is married. However, when Mason is trapped in a submarine, Jack is the only person that can save him...

Based on a silent Frank Capra film, Devil's Playground, despite the eye-catching title, is a poorly written melodrama. Richard Dix and Chester Morris are solid as the leads, while Dolores Del Rio is a bit over-the-top. The script, frankly, is awful. The submarine rescue only takes fifteen minutes, with the rest of the film take up with dull romantic shenanigans. This one's a dud.
