compelling character and not so much

Mary Stevens (Kay Francis) and her friend Don Andrews (Lyle Talbot) graduate medical school together and open medical offices next to each other. Mary struggles against sexism, but builds a thriving practice. Glenda Carroll (Glenda Farrell) is her nurse. Don starts dating rich socialite Lois Cavanaugh (Thelma Todd) and ignores his work.

Mary Stevens is a compelling character. I'm intrigued by her story. On the other hand, I couldn't care less about Don. I don't see their implied chemistry. They start off more like brother and sister. That's all I see in them. I don't care about his issues. She could be a great character for a TV show. Oh yeah! This was before TV.

Anecdotes
Mary tells Mrs. Nussbaum that her son will get over his "worry" if he keeps taking his "phosphates". "Weak nerves" was a common diagnosis of the time that covered a variety of mental and physical complaints such as anxiety, depression, the blues, listlessness, and irritability. Many tonics to treat weak nerves included phosphorous because it was believed to be essential for repairing brain and nerve tissue.

Gaffes
When a depressed Mary is sitting on the sofa, Don brings her a glass of water and a pill to help her sleep. In the following shot he is again approaching the sofa with the glass of water and pill, but from further away.
