An early Technicolor production set in a posh NYC fashion designing outfit. Warner Baxter, the owner, is having problems with his wife who wants a Broadway career. Up and coming model Joan Bennett falls in love with him while trying to kick start her career. When Baxter loses everything financing his wife's disastrous premier, he uses the props from the production to put on a fashion show and save the agency. However, the plot is secondary to the real stars: the clothes and the models. Also interesting to see late 1930s NYC street and club scenes in color, including a performance at the Cotton Club featuring Maurice Rocco on the piano.
