Joan Crawford portrays "MJ," the owner of a trucking firm who maintains control through strict authority. A clever writer named "Holmes" (Melvyn Douglas) enters the picture; she’s aware he has written an unfavorable account detailing her deceased father’s business success. She fabricates his arrest, falsely accusing him, and then devotes roughly thirty minutes attempting – with the assistance of her attorney Roland Young ("Marsh") – to persuade him to sign a waiver that he consistently declines. Following this, a lighthearted back-and-forth develops as he attempts to win over this determined woman, despite her clear antagonism. To be truthful, I found Douglas’s character rather irritating; he seemed almost arrogant. Crawford, who is portrayed as assertive, appears to succumb to his manipulations with ease and in a predictable manner. While it's pleasant enough to observe, it simply didn’t fully succeed. Young makes an effort as her patient confidant, and there are a few conventional, mildly humorous moments from Billie Burke and Nydia Westman – who seemed much more interested in knitting than working. It is positive to see the actress attempting a different kind of part compared to her typical 1940s power-dressing persona, and she performs it adequately, though lacking considerable vivacity. The film is agreeable enough for viewing; however, it’s not particularly remarkable.
