Capra used to be a carnival barker, so, unsurprisingly, a lot of his movies are con jobs on the general public (aka the "marks"). _It's a Wonderful Life_, _Mr. Smith_, and his other famous ones are bullshit, but they're done with plenty of savoir faire; this is just bullshit. Movies like this are the reason that so many hate Hollywood movies

A very sluggish first half hour (often coming across like filmed vaudeville), but once the triangle angle became apparent it started to work. Williams is a bit hammy in places (but then, the whole thing had a stagey feel); his insouciant charm mostly comes through though, especially when appearing with a radiant Loretta Young (it's too bad we lost him). Harlow is...well, Harlow; you either like her or you don't, I guess, and I usually don't (at least her presence serves to explain the title).

A decent 30's comedy with some great moments but some misfires as well. Loretta Young steals all her scenes but unfortunately there's not enough of them, and while Harlow and Williams are ok they don't always have the spark needed to make this stand out. The last 20 minutes are quite good though.

Robert Williams--who was on his way to become a big star when his appendix burst and he died of peritonitis just about the time this film opened--doesn't impress me much, and Jean Harlow is simply not credible as a socialite. Capra directs with style, though, and Loretta Young makes the most of her role (and is of course very beautiful).
