- Quotes
Richard Grant: [to his daughter] Barbara, this man you want to marry is a beast about women. I mean that literally, he's just an animal - so that your wedding night, instead of being a thing of beauty that you'll remember all your life long of great happiness will be a horror and shame, so that no matter what happens afterward, even after he's gone and dead, the memory of that time will stay with you, spoil your life. It's a thing that you can't live down - a horror you'll never forget. I won't let it happen to you!

Traditional music
Played by Kay Francis on harp and Charles Crockett on bass violin
I had heard of Kay Francis, but I don't recall having seen her in anything. She is fantastic! Barrymore is best known these days for playing the heavy in "It's a Wonderful Life", but here he is quite a bit younger, very spry, and marvelously expressive, both in inflection and mannerisms.
I wouldn't dream of giving away the ending, which has two nice touches, but I'm proud to say I saw it coming - about thirty seconds before the climax. I was thinking, "wait, they couldn't possibly ..., not the ... " but it was. Superb! Highly recommended.
