another frothy rom-com from harlow rewatch b3/28: awesome bad grrl gone good works here but still choppy in spots where censors wanted cut.

Harlow in a charming role as a "good girl" who wants to marry a rich man and won't accept "gifts" unless there is a proposal attached. Great support from Lionel Barrymore and Franchot Tone as millionaire father/son who Harlow gets her hooks into. Patsy Kelly as Harlow's friend has some funny moments always hitting on
