Review of Rich People

Rich People (1929)
Good Connie
17 August 2021
Constance Bennett faces a dilemma; will she choose the rich guy or the ordinary Joe? Naturally, Connie has the answer in time for the final credits. Rich guy is played by Robert Ames and regular guy is Regis Toomey, whose hobby is creating statistical business charts and life trends. A lively picture that moves right along and wastes little time.

This was Bennett's return to the screen after retiring in 1925, having just married Philip Plant. She divorced him in 1929 and made "Rich People". The little known Ames was an alcoholic and died in 1931, aged 42. Regis Toomey made 271 films and died in 1993, aged 91.

The film was restored by the Library of Congress and was shown at Capitolfest, Rome, NY, 8/13/21.
