As described in a film magazine review,[4] a young man born in the country leaves his family farm to engage in business in the city. He marries for the first time when he is still very young, finds the match a failure, gets a divorce, and starts life again. The hopelessness of life as far as a happy marriage is concerned forces itself on the young man, whose only brief period of happiness was enjoyed when he was living with a woman who really loves him and sacrafices for him.
According to Warner Bros records the film earned $451,000 domestically and $28,000 in foreign markets.[1]
Brass survives complete. It was transferred onto 16mm film by Associated Artists Productions[5] in the 1950s and shown on television.
