Was ever a woman so rudely wooed? Why, yes.

This is the sort of rough comedy that Ford had been making at least since the previous year's "Bucking Broadway" and would continue to make regularly through DONOVAN'S REEF. It is not a particularly distinguished member of the club -- which includes the Oscar-winning THE QUIET MAN. However, any John Ford picture is worth looking at at least once.
One thing worth noting is Ford's fine and, for the era, advanced sense of framing. True, he still uses irised shots as a substitute for a medium close in two-shot, but that is a common convention for the era. Of more interest is his strong use of framing lines to reduce the effective composition of shots in a fashion that most directors would not catch on to for another five years..... but then,
he always said that was his sole strength as a director.
