Crizer, and starringRichard Dix,Ford Sterling,Gertrude Olmstead,Philip Strange,Myrtle Stedman,Wade Boteler andClaude King. It was released on February 11, 1928, byParamount Pictures.[3][4]
Time magazine called the movie a "fossilated farce" which was "more interested in scenery than story":
Richard Dix, as a brawny, broken-nosed, commercial traveler, twines love and business, achieving girl and commission. It gags and gurgles about the young salesman and his sweetie who admires him for being both opulent and deceitful. Ethics are somewhat mixed, the principals in an excellent poker sequence shifting cards until Dix acquires four of a kind, raking in thereby $4,000.[5]
