- Quotes
Richard Grant: [to his daughter] Barbara, this man you want to marry is a beast about women. I mean that literally, he's just an animal - so that your wedding night, instead of being a thing of beauty that you'll remember all your life long of great happiness will be a horror and shame, so that no matter what happens afterward, even after he's gone and dead, the memory of that time will stay with you, spoil your life. It's a thing that you can't live down - a horror you'll never forget. I won't let it happen to you!

Traditional music
Played by Kay Francis on harp and Charles Crockett on bass violin
So will Lionel be caught for his misdeed? Or is the one of the pre-codes when murderers do not have to pay for their crime? Lionel Barrymore gives his usual strong, if sometimes over-the-top, performance. Kay plays well in a major supporting role. The rest of the cast is adequate in their roles, but the film is mostly between Lionel and Kay.
