"Without A real names in the cast, the film, although relatively entertaining, have no chance to be prominently advertised. In the big cities you will classify it as a B- movie, while he will have better opportunities in smaller towns, where the remaining followers of Nancy Carroll may still appreciate such offers. [ ... ] The novel on which the film is based, was published a few years ago, when the adventures of boisterous youngsters still significantly better sell at the box office were than today. Whatever the original story may have also offered to potential, it must have been more than the writers have recognized, because the script does a lot of room for improvement. "
Mordaunt Hall beat in the same vein.
" The title suggests all the fun that young people like to have so in their spare time: dancing, alcohol and all kinds of lovey-dovey. Some might argue that " Hot Saturday" would rather fit into the time before 1926 - the year in which the novel was published - as in the present day. [ ... ] Cary Grant as a young libertine is casual and Randolph Scott in accordance innocent than Boyfriend. "
