PUNQ

Rated 02 Jul 2023

1937 update of Street of Chance (1930), a movie which got a Oscar nomination for Best Writing. However, very little of that quality comes across in Her Husband Lies (1937), as Edward Ludwig efforts piecing this together didn't feel as inspired. It's a decent picture for Ricardo Cortez & Gail Patrick, who both make it easy to digest, but this doesn't quite find the same emotional tone as the original, it itself flawed coming out during the sound transition. Didn't improve on it.
