An unpretentious old film, of which there are many, but there starred young Humphrey Bogart and Bett Davis. Humphrey Bogart plays a charming and insidious fraudster who pretends that he wants to build a plant in a small town, and therefore seeks to trick possible investors. Bette Davis here is an intelligent, restrained, but somewhat obscured and ignored by the guys girl, a good sister, the sister of the bad sister about whom this film is actually about. In Davis, there are already hints of future sophistication, but there is still something quite tender and fragile.
Of the other characters, I want to note the maid, who, which is partly a surprise with such a cocky, scandalous, petty and contentious lady as the local heroine, is in no hurry to please her and promote all her whims. And the boy, who is gone, notices all sorts of secrets of his sisters, sneaks through everything, and, despite all the codes of Hayes, reproaches the timid sister for not wearing attractive underwear. Well, the action moves very clearly to an understandable and satisfactory conclusion, in which even bad girls are not particularly reproached!
