Note that the card game bridge achieved phenomenal success in the U.S. in the early 1930s! Virtually every married couple played it, and there were daily bridge columns in every newspaper, and the top bridge players, like Ely Culbertson, became famous celebrities! Naturally, Hollywood tried to make a movie about the phenomenon, but watching people play cards on screen is not very exciting, so this was the only such movie!
