Plot
Dr. Lucius Griffith "Biff" Grimes (Gary Cooper) is a small town dentist dissatisfied with his lot. Though married to the lovely and affectionate Amy Lind Grimes (Frances Fuller), Grimes still carries a torch for his former sweetheart, Virginia "Virgie" Brush Barnstead (Fay Wray). Years earlier, Grimes had lost Virgie to his old friend Hugo Barnstead (Neil Hamilton), and is consumed with the desire to get even with his rival. The now-wealthy Hugo comes to visit Grimes, with Virgie in tow. Grimes then seeks to rekindle his old romance.
Cast
Reception
The film was a box office disappointment for Paramount.
Remakes
The picture was remade twice by director Raoul Walsh, as the smash hit Strawberry Blonde (1941) with James Cagney and again as One Sunday Afternoon (1948). The Gary Cooper version was a notorious flop, however, and the only Cooper picture of this period to lose money at the box office. Before making the Cagney version, Jack L. Warner (co-founder of Warner Bros. who had bought the 1933 version) screened the 1933 film and wrote a memo to his production head Hal B. Wallis telling him to watch it also: "It will be hard to stay through the entire running of the picture, but do this so you will know what not to do."
