This release from Grapevine shows off Marion's dramatic side. I'm a fan of her comic side but she did ok in this. She's lovely in this and I like her hair. In this her stepfather dies and there's a catch. She can only get his money if she stays unmarried for a year. But then Norman Kerry has his eye on her.

Lucky Partners
Richard Colman and Ginger Rogers split a lottery ticket with each other. Then they go on a platonic trip together. However Ginger Rogers is engaged to Jack Carson. It was nice seeing Jack Carson in something other than a Doris Day movie. The actors were good here but I just felt the movie was ok. This is not among Ginger Rogers' best.
The Penalty
As a child Lon Chaney's character's legs were amputated by an insufficient doctor. Years later he learns that his daughter is a sculptor and doing a piece on the devil. He comes for the job planning for revenge. Lon Chaney's character is creepy. He does a good job as always. There's also a neat twist at the end. Lon Chaney was one of the best actors in the silent era. This got my attention the whole way through.
