Picturesquely photgraphed in the more sylvan parts of the New York borough of Queens, as this film progresses it initially meanders through comedy, pathos and drama until getting mired in one of those tiresome silent film plots in which the hero is wrongly believed to have funked out during a crisis, even though we know full well he was Really a Hero!
Finally, however, we're permitted a cracking climax in a big spooky house when gawky hero Glenn Hunter (whose centre parting and cheekbones make him resemble Alfred E. Neuman) at last proves himself worthy of the hand of radiant 16 year-old heroine Mary Astor, who looks astonishingly as she did during her thirties & forties Hollywood peak.
