A zany comedy that fails to work, probably because it's so arch, resistible and contrived. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Dec 24, 2016 We watched this film last night and We LOAO! I believe all the best character actors were cast in this film. A lot of sight gags at the end and dialogue that was very snappy! Love it! See more Dec 23, 2016 A slapstick comit from the 1930s is always enjoyable. Though it is not the best of Powell and Loy it's still funny. The one draw back is its all at the end of movie. See more Mar 15, 2014 William Powell is an artistic beatnik of sorts and Myrna Loy a high powered business woman trying to set him up with her sister. Anyone who's ever seen a Powell/Loy film can guess where this screwball comedy is leading. It's not their best film by a long shot and is more slapstick than their usual outings, but Powell and Loy have such great chemistry that it's still worth watching. See more Mar 2, 2014 Solid Powell and Loy vehicle. Like Ginger Rogers, I can watch Myrna Loy in anything. Fun, goofy fluff. See more Nov 18, 2012 Screwball comedy. Powell as the artist and Loy as his uptight love interest. See more Nov 13, 2012 pairing number 7 for loy/powell in this rom-com See more Read all reviews
