Steve D Hopkins is a blast the rest isn't. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/04/24 Full Review Audience Member The outstanding takeaway for this movie is that the moment Joel McCrea makes his appearance we are 100% sure the movie will end with him and his co-star, Miriam Hopkins, happily together, which is exactly what happens. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member Miriam Hopkins was an excellent Broadway actress who found a wonderful career in films, even if she never achieved legendary status. In this 1934 movie, she plays the richest woman in the world, undoubtedly a take-off on Barbara Hutton. Desiring to find a man who can love her for herself and not her money, she and her secretary switch identities when there's a potential suitor around. The game gets dicey when Hopkins meets the man of her dreams, Joel McCrea, and let's face it, he was the man of many women's dreams - tall, handsome, boyish, and athletic. The story continues from there with the usual mix-ups. As one of the posters pointed out, the secretary, played by the beautiful Fay Wray, is a married woman, which means that Hopkins is actually posing as a married woman and Wray as a single one - this is a long way of saying the film was probably released before the code hit. Hopkins and McCrea made a good duo, and good thing, because they appeared together several times. This is a pleasant and short comedy, worth seeing for its stars and '30s ambiance. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member Miriam Hopkins plays love scenes well, and seeing Fay Wray as a brunette was interesting, but they can't save this clunker, which has a rich woman swapping identities with her secretary to determine the true motivations of her suitors, after having had a string of fortune hunters previously. A few scenes brought a smile, such as drinking several shots of Scotch as a tonic for being sick, but this one could be skipped. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Good players in an idiotic game that has more then a tinge of viciousness to it. Fun for a while but the bluff goes on too long and turns to meanness.
