      Audience Reviews for There's Always a Woman

      • Mar 14, 2014
        Silly Thin Man clone is made quite palatable by breezy Blondell, flummoxed Douglas, sly Astor.

      • Sep 08, 2009
        Mystery-comedy propelled by the bouncy Joan Blondell at her best, golden curls flopping about with every sudden movement. Melvyn Douglas makes a fine foil as her private detective husband who sorely wants his old job back with the D.A. after a bad run of luck with his own private agency. Becomes plot-heavy in the final third, bogging down an otherwise jolly whodunit.
