Steve D Screwball but never funny. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 05/18/23 Full Review Tom M Fernand Gravet , little known in English or American film, is brilliant as a 'down on his luck' marquis chasing beautiful movie star Lombard. Lombard is gracious, lovely and funny as ever. Is it me, or does Ralph Bellamy lose every woman to a leading man in every movie he's appears in the 30's and 40's ? Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/24/20 Full Review Audience Member lombard's only WB pic Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Another good one from Lombard Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews
