Sin Takes a Holiday Reviews

Bennett plays a lowly stenographer who enters into a marriage of convenience with boss MacKenna so that he won't have to tie the knot with La Roy, his divorcee girl friend. MacKenna tells La Roy that his wife is an institutionalized invalid, and Bennett ventures to Paris, where she meets the cultured European Rathbone, who teaches her a thing or two. Rathbone implores her to seek a divorce, but, when Bennett returns stateside, she and her husband discover that they were meant for each other and end up back together at the film's conclusion. Though mild by today's standards, this was a fairly sophisticated programmer in its time. SIN TAKES A HOLIDAY was made at Pathe, but the rights reverted to RKO when the latter studio received it in a Hollywood business takeover.
