		Akins was a poet and the author of more than 40 plays, including 18 that appeared on Broadway between 1919 and 1944.

		What makes the film tick, however, are the winks and double entendres the script (by key Arzner collaborator Zoë Akins) keeps throwing our way—from the brazenly suggestive title to wisecracks insinuating gender confusion.
		Arzner reunited with screenwriter Zoë Akins and actress Ruth Chatterton in this story of a working-class woman's painful unease in high society.
		Chatterton plays Pansy Gray, a chorus girl out of work after being arrested for "revealing too much at a burlesque show." She meets a well-to-do lawyer (Clive Brook) who is slumming it since his wife dumped him, and after a night of drunken debauchery they wake up sober—and married.

		When Zoe Akins' play The Old Maid (based on a novel by Edith Wharton) won the 1934-35 Pulitzer Prize, the selection was roundly condemned by critics, who felt that Lillian
		Hellman's The Children's House was more deserving, but had lost because of its lesbian theme.
		Certainly, Akins' story of the relationship between two Southern cousins in the years between 1833 and 1854 is nothing spectacular.
