Long, dull, and too much dialog, but that really doesn't matter considering this film's historical significance. It is Paramount's first all-dialog picture, originally shot as a silent, but redone to cash in on the new addition to film technology. Brent is a blackmailer working on Kenyon,
whom she suspects of bigamy. The acting is nothing special and the film is padded out beyond a reasonable length. Still, it's a good item for film historians to take a peek at. Powell, in an early role, is a standout.
