Janet Gaynor is a pretty Scottish lass who has trouble maintaining her accent, but rather winsome nevertheless as a stowaway hiding from the authorities. Charles Farrell makes an engaging co-star, so it's no surprise when they find true romance by the final fadeout in which he declares her "delicious." El Brendel has a largely sympathetic role but gets a little too much screen time for my taste and some of his comic moments have a rather flat affect.
The songs are forgettable, particularly a little ditty Janet Gaynor sings without much voice or style. Still, she does a fair job of carrying most of the film with her own brand of charm, but the script is really a lot of hokum.
Contemporary audiences will find it hard to sustain interest in this tale. The TCM print was too dark for comfortable viewing, only accenting the primitive B&W photography and sound system.
