Quiz
One of a number of early 1930s films such as American Madness (1932) and Manhattan Tower (1932) made on the subject of business corruption and banking practices in the wake of the Stock Market Crash of 1929 and the onset of the Great Depression. When reviewing the screenplays of these films prior to production, the censors demanded that such films must inculcate "confidence in banking institutions" and "big business" in the average American. The studios begrudgingly obliged.

Blooper
When John goes to leave Lizzie's house, Maggie stops him at the front door. John is between Maggie and the door. But in the next shot Maggie is between the door and John - their positions have switched.

Like Love, Just Around The Corner

Marie Dressler is Norman Foster's mother, and Polly Moran is the mother of Anita Page, Foster's wife. Foster runs the bank Miss Dressler runs. When Miss Moran starts a run on the bank, Miss Dressler is confident until she discovers that Foster has used the bonds she keeps as a bulwark to back a building project run by John Miljan, and Miljan is a crook.

Bank runs were a theme at this time, with the best-remembered example being Capra's AMERICAN MADNESS. Director Sam Wood stages his version well.

It's the last pairing of Dressler and Moran, and Miss Page's last movie at MGM. This doesn't stop the usual mix of pathos and comedy that fans had come to expect. They were more than satisfied with the results. So was I.
