      Ann Ross Maclean's Magazine It's fair comedy, thanks largely to Bette Davis's gay and sparkling performance as the cold-cream heiress. Oct 11, 2019 Full Review Michael E. Grost Classic Film and Television Mild comedy might please fans of stars. Dec 29, 2015 Full Review Read all reviews

      Steve D A bit rushed but quite cute. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/09/24 Full Review Audience Member Weak dialogue and rather trite production. Bette Davis is here, younger and of course, always playing herself. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Silly junk is harmless enough but one of the scripts that made Bette, by this point an Oscar winner, see red and walk out on her contract leading to her court fight with Warners and the beginning of her climb to becoming the fifth Warner brother and their top star. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member brent and davis elevate this ho-hum comedy Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member I thought it was funny, endearing, clever, and of course, classic Davis. The storyline took a while to reveal the big secret, which was effective, and the improbability of the ending was sweet. Excellent direction, staging, and lighting. A- Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member Minor Bette Davis film from the early 1930's, it's a romantic comedy, and touches of melodrama. She is paired with frequent co-star George Brent. Typical of the period, but Davis' presence makes it worth looking into. Good support from Eugene Pallette.Amusing, predictable, but very entertaining. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
