There's some pre Code fun to be had in the reputation of Miriam Hopkins' character in this film - she was a girl who got around including a romance with Jack Oakie and George Raft, but now she's in love with this wet musician, William Collier Jr.
It's not much of a movie - its kind of a musical with the action stopping for numbers (it's set around a night club, Hopkins sings, the other girl sings, Oakie is a bandleader). You might like it if you're into Hopkins who does try and her fans will be interested in her singing. Raft is good value - he was growing in confidence by this stage. Oakie sexually molests Hopkins but he's not a bad guy apparently. Raft keeps things lively, Collier is wet.
