No More Orchids (1932 Walter Lang)

Brisk, humorously written romantic comedy with Carole Lombard a spoiled rich girl who falls for straight guy Lyle Talbot. Her adoring father Walter Connolly is having financial difficulties and Louise Closser Hale is good value too as a no-nonsense granny. With C. Aubrey Smith.

Writers are Grace Perkins, Gertrude Purcell and Keene Thompson. Has a disappointing final plot development which could have been improved upon.

Shot by Joseph August. Made by Columbia, apparently, though our print didn't say so.

Ahh... the pre-Code days...
