Anecdotes
The denouement of the story, along with June Clyde's inevitable reconciliation with Arthur Lake, is missing from the TCM print, along with the original end title, which has been replaced by a more modern generic one.

Gaffes
In the scene after the bridge game, when the girls run onto the beach in long shot, the microphone is seen coming down over the two girls speaking. It's a flash of a couple of seconds, but quite visible.

Citations
Bill: What is this mission you're talking about?
Peggy Reynolds: My father and mother.
Bill: Well, what's the matter with them?
Peggy Reynolds: Oh, Bill, they're playing with fire.
Bill: Who doesn't now days? They're just havin' some harmless fun.
Peggy Reynolds: Harmless for us maybe, because we're young enough to know better.
Bill: I wouldn't worry about it. They're mature!
Peggy Reynolds: I know it. But, that's the trouble. They're too old to understand the present day technique.
Bill: I'll say you understand it, all right.

Mom and Dad don't exactly set the highest standards for their daughters in this one!

This is a very old fashioned musical, though I certainly expected this and cut the film some slack. After all, 1929 was still very early for talking pictures and the musicals of the era are a tad stilted and the production numbers a bit...well...much. And, compared to most of the musicals of the time, this one isn't bad at all.

The plot involves a family that is on vacation. However, Peggy (June Clyde) isn't about to pitch woo with Bill (Arthur Lake) because she's too worried about her family. After all, her daddy is out chasing a younger woman and mom isn't any better. As for her sister, there are some incriminating letters...and Peggy is determined to get them.

The film has a few cute songs, though the singing varies tremendously. A few of the actors (such as Lake) should NOT be singing! Interestingly enough, one of the co-writers of the songs was the very clever raconteur, Oscar Levant. Overall, it's harmless fluff. Folks that love older talking pictures will enjoy it...others might find it a bit tough to finish. The film also has one of the most abrupt and unsatisfying endings...it makes we wonder if the whole ending might actually be missing.
