This John Barrymore vehicle sorely underuses the glowing Myrna Loy. Essentially a "morality play" where the Everyman character of Dr Auguste Topaze encounters many vices to tempt him from the path of the honest, honorable man: pride, covetousness, lust, fraud, envy, greed, and capitalism.
Spoiler: he succumbs to many of these "sins," turns the tables on his users, and ends up with the girl of his dreams in an improved life. Hunh?
