The third screen version of Maxwell Anderson's stage comedy Saturday's Children is all Ross Alexander. As the ambitious office worker "Nips" O'Neil (a role originated on Broadway in 1927 by Humphrey Bogart), Alexander remains a matter of taste, an oddball Hollywood personality whose style may not have stood the test of time all that well. Yet there is something infectious about this brassy youngster with romantic problems, and it is easy to imagine how shocking Alexander's suicide death in 1937 must have felt. Although strictly a B-movie, Maybe It's Love still bears all the hallmarks of early talkie Warner Bros., including a great supporting cast headed by Joseph Cawthorn, as Alexander's language-mangling boss; Ruth Donnelly and Frank McHugh, as bickering in-laws; and a very young Gloria Stuart, as the spirited ingénue.
