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
