Synopsis
Edward Childs Carpenter's stock-company perennial Bachelor Father was reshaped as a Marion Davies vehicle in 1931. Davies plays Tony Flagg, one of the three grown children of ageing roue Sir Basil Winterton (C. Aubrey Smith). Tony and her siblings Geoffrey Trent (Ray Milland) and Maria Credaro (Nena Quartero), were all born out of wedlock, each to a different mother. In order to ensure her future happiness, Tony vows to find Sir Basil a proper wife. In the meantime, she goes the Amelia Earhart route, planning to make a transatlantic flight despite her daddy's protests. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
