Historically interesting treatment of liberated social and sexual attitudes amongst the middle-upper classes circa 1920s doesn't really satisfy as drama, with some overstated surrenders to melodrama on the ticket, but the frank openness with which women are treated essentially as prostitutes (replete with a hilarious swingers party decided by a game of snooker!) makes this quite fascinating as a curio.

Hardly a revolutionary adultery drama, but it's serviceable with a few sparks here and there. Decent role for long-time bit player Creighton Hale. Same can be said for Virginia Brown Faire, who's probable best known today for standing besides some of the top cowboys in the business in those early B-westerns of the sound era.
