Surprisingly tense, romantic and fun. You can take or leave the trite decorum of much of the script, but the actors are fantastic in their respective elements: Helen Vinson is hilariously despicable, Grant has perfectly honed his rambunctious, naturalistic affection for the camera, Lombard is genuinely feisty and Kay Francis does the impossible, by providing the entire justification for divorce through steely glances and complicated asides. She succeeds wonderfully.

Kay Francis is terrific.
