Steve D 05/20/2023 Ginger is really good. The film is not. See more acsdoug D @acsdoug 05/05/2023 A good romantic comedy with undertones of class struggle and great dialogue. I especially appreciated the almost complete lack of a soundtrack, something pretty rare in a movie from the 30s. That's a testament to how strong the dialogue is.

Ginger Rogers and Walter Connolly give good performances. The screenplay is a little slow in places. Gregory La Cava did an alright job directing this movie. i liked this motion picture because of the humor and romance. See more 01/04/2018 A more than pleasant diversion in which a poor & hapless young woman of the world becomes the heroine of a bored, wealthy family. Several digs at the greed of capitalism, which was rampant (and not altogether wrong) in these post depression years. A shame this lavish set, & Rogers' curves, couldn't have been in color. See more 08/17/2016 I was excited to see this film because it was a comedy featuring Tim Holt, who is a great actor (i.e. "Treasure of the Sierra Madre" "Magnificent Ambersons") who spent most of his career cashing in on his popularity as a B-picture western star. The film has a solid screwball comedy set up, with a rich man hiring a charming homeless girl, Ginger Rogers, to be a part of his life in order to get some attention from his snooty rich family. Holt plays his boorish son. Unfortunately, the film isn't all that funny, despite the good cast. I'll lay blame on the script for this film's failure. See more 02/13/2014 Very strange and interesting movie. Apparently referred to as a screwball comedy, I didn't find much in it to be funny, but works because of the personalities of Ginger Rogers and Walter Connolly. The movie loses focus and strength any time it starts to focus on Connolly's family, who are all intentionally horrible, but their "redemptions" just aren't believable. See more Read all reviews
