It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.
It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
There is a Grosset and Dunlap book out on this presumably lost Paramount film with six plates which I recently rediscovered in preparation for a garage sale. The frontispiece shows close-up of Fay Wray and a young Gary Cooper. Unfortunately, the nice copy is without its original dust jacket. This book has a 1928 copyright on it and probably was intended to be a promotional title for the marketing of this film which came out while the Wings film was still circulating. Whether this film is truly a lost film, I don't know, but if it is this book with its plates will help to add to the history of this secondary film.
