Warning: Spoilers
Once upon a time there were 3 sisters. All of them score husbands. All of them have rocky times in their marriages. This 99 minute film was made as the under card for double features. Yet it has and A List Cast.

Bette Davis is already a major star who would make Jezebel and Erroll Flynn would go on to make Robin Hood, both classics, within a stones throw of this movie.

There is some good drama here. Flynn and Davis Marriage seems doomed from the start. Anita Louise and Jane Bryan always call the folks and return home when they have problems. Davis husband leaves her for 2 years the night of the San Francisco earth quake and she never comes back home until the next election.

The movie is set at the election party of Teddy Roosevelt where Davis and Flynn meet. They next get back together at the election party for Taft. The story is in between the parties.

The quake was a subject for more than 1 film in the 1930's. It is a minor thing here though Davis is nearly killed.

This film has a lot of cast members who would move into different roles, but for a minor effort it is a solid film.
