This is an old story of the sweet young girl romanced by a big-talking, lying, smart guy who really hasn't got anything but a big mouth. She eventually marries him because of his promises, and by the fade out, she is sadder but wiser.
Helen Twelvetrees is fine as the librarian, who has recently lost her mother and is slightly depressed. She is talked into going out after work one night by a fellow worker and meets her "date" for dinner. She is not too impressed, but agrees to see him again and from there on she is a sitting duck for his campaign to win her. He seems to really care for her, but is such a blow-hard, it is hard to watch him ensnare her.
By the end, pregnant, and resigned, as she holds him as he begs to be forgiven and she looks with sad eyes into the camera, you feel she has paid a terrible price for falling for a cad. A better film than I thought it was going to be. It presents themes that are ever new because of the human condition.
