A rare dramatic scene

This movie has nothing at all to do with its title. It is actually a few separate stories strung together. Not deftly, but effectively.

There is one very poignant scene between Edna May Oliver and Hugh Hurbert. He has confessed to stealing $250 from her to invest in an oil scheme. She expresses her deep anger and disappointment in a manner that a loving wife would. There is no comedy in that scene

I was very touched by the depth of the acting by both of them.
