“In this charming little film, Joel McCrea plays Blacky Gorman, owner of a service station with big plans for owning more stations. Ginger Rogers plays his girlfriend, Marge Harris, a wonderful young woman without a selfish bone in her body. Blacky does not appreciate what he has and his attention is diverted to a flirtatious girl with social connections and family wealth—Glory Franklyn, played by Marian Nixon.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe acting is worthy of notice, but the story is fairly uncomplicated. As a result, the film is not substantial enough to warrant a higher score than u0026quot;6u0026quot;.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis precode production offers only a couple concessions to impropriety, but it provides a nostalgic look at life in the thirties, including kitchen operations.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe film wraps up too neatly and too quickly, but it is, nonetheless, endearing. It might have served as a cautionary tale in its day, but it remains a comforting tale of ceaseless fidelity and virtue.”
