Money Means Nothing 1934 **

 
A very poorly done film, highlighting that Gloria Shea really isn't anything to write home about, and neither is director Christy Cabanne. Wallace Ford is usually in some pretty good stuff, but actually here he is overshadowed by Shea's boorish performance as Julie.
Julie is one of those people who always believes she is right, as well as always wanting everything her own way. When she meets Ken, a delivery driver, she spontaneously starts a relationship with him after getting involved in a hijacking on one of his trucks and marries him soon after, despite reservations from her parents and continuous disapproval from his friends and colleagues. During this time, Ken's boss Herbert is still being subjected to hijackings, and before long, Ken is caught up with the same crowd who hijacked him to start with. Very slow and uneventful.
