All-star cast of MGM regulars William Powell, Myrna Loy, Spencer Tracy, and Jean Harlow.

A charming cast, headed by Tracy, Harlow, William Powell and Myrna Loy, elevates this screwball comedy, a typically glossy MGM fare of the Depression era.

Classic screwball farce. Not as funny as it might be, but worthwhile.

More intriguing for behind-the-scenes gossip than its rather familiar screwball comedy machinations.

The actors are game but the hijinks are too stilted and tame by today’s standards.
