[A record of sorts, it was thefirstUS feature film to show a bathroom with a toilet bowl.]With a novice actor (James Murray) in the lead role, he film was simply a realistic, bittersweet drama of the existence of an ordinary common and average American (an Everyman prototype embodied in a white-collar worker) trying to make it with his wife in the monolithic big city - but without any maudlin sentimentality, extreme passion, exploitation of romance, or escapist melodrama.Shirtless in front of his mirror, he flexes his bronzed muscles.His tall Texan figure, taken with a telephoto lens, bobs through he densely-crowded, anonymous sea of people on Fifth Avenue.However, when they were spotted by gorilla cavalry and pursued, they ducked into a cave in an unusual rock outcropping.In fact, the two stars Bette Davis and Joan Crawford were, by some accounts, also dueling actresses who notoriously despised each other.
