Goodbye Again (1933 Michael Curtiz)

Cheap First National picture takes place mainly in hotel rooms. Writer Warren William encounters old flame Genevieve Tobin, who's now married to the extremely laid back Hugh Herbert (his credits include the brilliantly titled Get Along, Little Zombie and Sh! The Octopus) - his secretary Joan Blondell (the reason for buying this little film) isn't too impressed. And nor was I. Then this happens:


Some other people are in it, but let's not talk about that. It's pretty lame, though the scene where Warren starts copying everyone's speech is funny (though entirely random).

George Barnes shot it.

For the record, Warners bought First National in 1928 but it remained a brand until 1936.
