    Where to Watch

Slice of small-town life, involving murder and the consequences of malicious gossip. Lew Ayres. Nora: Louise Campbell. Austin: Roscoe Karns. Wilson: Porter Hall. Ada: Elizabeth Patterson. Wilma: Virginia Weidler. Smith: Edgar Kennedy. Maybelle: Cecil Cunningham. James Hogan directed.

An uneven story centers on the small-town gossip that develops when new girl Campbell comes to town. While all the young ruffians are trying to impress the girl with their virility, the old ladies spread rumors about her at their bridge parties. A murder occurs in the peaceful town, and what earlier sounded like harmless tripe now approaches vicious slander. A homey look at small-town Americana, but plot gets to be a bit trying.
