8/10

A mini Grand hotel

Story about a 100 story skyscraper in New York--David Dwight (Warren William) helped finance the building but is running out of money. He needs more and will do anything to get it. Other characters in the movie are Jenny (Anita Page) a model who openly sleeps with guys for money; sweet virginal Lynn (Maureen O'Sullivan); Tom (Norman Foster) who loves Lynn--but Dwight wants her too; Sarah Dennis (Verree Teasdale) who is Dwight's mistress and Myra (Helen Coburn) who loves her husband but he can't find work..and Slim (Wallace Ford) wants her.

As you can see there are multiple story lines crisscrossing each other. The movie moves quick and is pre-Code meaning it was pretty open about adultery, sex, suicide and murder. Nothing TOO racy by today's standards (the TV rating is G) but pretty strong for 1932. The acting is good--William, O'Sullivan, Page and Teasdale come off best. No masterpiece of cinema but quick, fun and well worth searching out--TCM shows it occasionally. An 8.

Quiz
Boris Karloff: (at around 20 mins) Approaching a ticket counter as Tom (Norman Foster) takes his leave. During filming of The Mask of Fu Manchu (1932), Boris Karloff took time off to appear in this film; the camera immediately cuts away once the actor appears, so the purpose behind his cameo seems to have been deleted.

Blooper
When Lynn is working late, as she leaves Tom to bring the unfinished report to Mr. Dwight, the moving shadow of the boom mic is visible on the wall by the door.
