Laughter is a sophisticated romantic comedy belying the "fact" that most early talkies were
stiff and dull. Nancy Carroll plays a Follies dancer who meets her goal of marrying a
millionaire (Frank Morgan). Alas, her husband is a well-meaning bore, and soon Nancy
begins seeking entertainment elsewhere. She reunites with her former boyfriend (Fredric
March), a composer who seems to have a funny quip for every occasion. This adult affair is
paralleled by the romance between Nancy's stepdaughter and a devil-may-care sculptor.
Though the plot mechanics slow down towards the climax, Laughter manages to sustain
the promise of its title for nearly 80 minutes.
