Love a la Mode

It's a well-timed comedy under the direction of Stephen Roberts, in which Clem Beauchamp and Bernard Granville are variously married and trying to get married to the same two women.

It shows some hesitancy in a manner which indicates to me that there are some sound issues. It's 1930, after all, and although there had already been some success in shooting sound films outdoors rather than on a set, the expertise in doing so was still limited. Still, it's good to see the players, like Beauchamp. He would stop appearing on the screen about 1935, and go behind the camera, as a producer and production manager. In the last role he would work for Stanley Kramer. He died in 1992, aged 94.
