The net result is a rather neat cross between a romantic comedy and a buddy comedy. I don't expect anyone to be surprised by any of the plot twists, but as a model of how to merge the two genres with no hard feelings, it's a nifty little piece for just over an hour. 7 out of 10 found this helpful.

Popular reviews. ★★★. All that survives, as far as is known, is the silent version of this Alice White-starring romantic comedy. But it's just as well, because it's so vivid that you can practically hear her unique foghorn of a voice anyway.
