Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis was silent-picture star Albert Gran's last film; he died in an auto accident after the film was finished, but before it was released. Ironically, in the film's final sequence he and Warren William are racing through the streets of Manhattan in a taxicab to a Board of Directors meeting, but they arrive safely and without incident.
- GoofsHale Hamilton's character Monroe is said to be a descendant of James Monroe and Benjamin Franklin. James Monroe had two daughters and no sons. Descendants, if any, would not have the surname Monroe.

Featured review
Hugely entertaining. Enjoyable throughout. Highly recommended.
This has to be one of the best B movies. Don't miss it. While it is no Citizen Kane, I found it to be a flawless 1 hour, 14 minute joy -- great satire, comedy, social and economic commentary and a fast-paced, well written, interwoven and witty screenplay . There is not a dull or wasted moment in the movie. It moves along and builds as it goes. All the loose ends are tied together and resolved in the exciting conclusion as Warren William juggles a frantic attempt to get a last minute voting proxy, a number of romances, some personnel changes and alliances and even some gunplay. Wow! And there is a huge number of situations and strategy about department store management and sales promotions. It is also an unusual movie in that it is gloriously politically INcorrect: the "bad guy" triumphs for a change. It is quite risque; a good example of a pre-code movie. Warren William gives an "over the top" bravura performance. Albert Gran and Alice White shine. Wallace Ford and Loretta Young do fine.
I see that most users gave it an 8 out of 10. I gave it a 9.
