Critic Reviews for The Mad Miss Manton
All Critics (2) | Fresh (2) | Rotten (0)
A mildly funny screwball comedy-mystery thriller that is overall more thirties stylish than witty.
The Mad Miss Manton succeeds as a romantic comedy more than it succeeds as a mystery.
Audience Reviews for The Mad Miss Manton
Sprightly bit of nonsense with Barbara & Henry charming each other and the audience.
Super Reviewer
Stanwyck is fun to watch as leader of a gang of idle Park Avenue society women who try to solve a murder outside the law and Henry Fonda's newspaper. Some silly sequences and questionable romance between the stars, which includes Fonda threatening to beat some sense into Barbara three different times - now there's a match made in counseling! I had an easier time following the trail of suspects in The Big Sleep but at least they don't take themselves too seriously. A minor entry in each resume.
