Was it Lionel Barrymore's direction? or was Ricardo Cortez always capable of delivering a performance as he does in this film? He is absolutely brilliant as Bradley Carlton. I decided to check out this film because of my ever favorite Barbara Stanwyck, but will watch it again and recommend to others for the scenes with Mr. Cortez.
