Jean Harlow (who gets star billing and is brunette for a change) and Spencer Tracy give tough, energetic performances in this contrived marital melodrama.

The cast alone make this one worth watching. Jean Harlow and Spencer Tracy make a good team, and Harlow is so wonderful in this. Fine story, typical MGM high quality from that era. Well photographed. The story does have some holes in the plot, but it's still a very enjoyable classic. A very young Mickey Rooney is great in a small role

Jean Harlow stars with Spencer Tracy in this tale of a tough cannery girl and the stubborn, egotistical fisherman she loves. Featuring an early (an annoying) performance by Mickey Rooney, worth seeing for the sparks that fly off the two leads and they fight and love and face tough times.
