Overall, this is a fairly enjoyable film from my favorite backstage milieu of the spicy revue. The story is about two little girls who each cope differently with their desire for fame and fortune. Virginia Valli is the moderate one who denies herself due to the illusion of modest happiness and Carmelita Geraghty is the one who is quite sure of her charm and thus becomes rich but unhappy quite quickly. You can imagine how these stories play out, but if you're interested in the events of The Pleasure Garden, the mid-1920s are the perfect setting for them.
