I re-watched it 2011 when it ran on TCM as part of Ann&#8217;s &#8220;Summer Under the Stars&#8221; day, and enjoyed it much more. It still angers me for its under-utilization of Ann, but overall this tale of college graduates who have difficultly adjusting to the real world in the midst of the Great Depression is fairly engaging. It&#8217;s also very timely, considering what today&#8217;s graduates have been facing the last few years, and the film is a great example of Warner Bros. willingness to tackle topical issues of the day.<\/p>\n<p>However, it&#8217;s still a minuscule role for Ann Dvorak \u00c2\u00a0and therefore my job to complain about it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Year of Ann Dvorak: Day 207 On July 26, 1934, Warner workhorse Ann Dvorak reported to the set of\u00c2\u00a0Gentlemen Are Born.\u00c2\u00a0She had finished working on\u00c2\u00a0I Sell Anything the\u00c2\u00a0day before, which was thankless role in a quickie programmer.
